INSPIRE Coach Mentoring Programme
Mentoring element only.
Open to swimming coaches only but we will go out to the disciplines if we don’t fill the places on ASPIRE.
https://www.swimming.org/sport/pathway-coach-mentoring-programme/
Swim England’s Inspire Coach Mentoring programme for 2022-2023 provides a unique coach development opportunity for coaches who are predominantly working with age-group and early youth level athletes within the Swim England Talent Pathways for Swimming and Para Swimming.
Each coach will be assigned a mentor from our Swim England National and Regional Coach Developer team who will work with the coach to provide bespoke, in situ support guided by the creation of an Individual Development plan.
The programme will run for a 12-month period from September 2022 until August 2023 and will provide an opportunity for mentored coaches to receive bespoke support relative to their Individual Development plan, take part in small group communities of practice, and enjoy programme visits both from and to your Coach Developer.
Mentoring will be delivered through both online and face to face interactions, and our experienced Coach Developers will facilitate coach development in both technical and non-technical areas.
Deadline for applications – midnight Friday 26th August 2022
