Coach education and assessing for orienteering
Posted by Lynne Walker | Filed under Blog • Coaching
Retirement at the end of September 2009 came at a very fortuitous time for me. During 2008 and 2009 there had been many changes happening within the coaching side of orienteering. These were connected with orienteering coming under the United Kingdom Coaching Certificate (UKCC). This is a nationally recognised coach education qualification which sits at the heart of a cross sport initiative to make the UK world leaders in coaching by 2016. There is more technical content – so coaches can be confident with not just HOW to coach but also WHAT to coach – and each course is well supported with coaching resources and mentoring.
I am a level 4 orienteering coach and a qualified Assessor & Coach Educator. I have been orienteering for xx years and have coached on many foreign tours.
