CPD - Goal Setting, 15-a-side game

To reach a desired outcome with accuracy requires goal setting, a method of planning, committing and delivering actions rather than wishes. The process to achieving a long term goal is to break it down into medium and short term goals that lead to the eventual outcome required. These goals help to monitor progress, to motivate and to identify a range of factors that motivate individuals through goal setting. This module helps coaches develop these skills.

CPD - Performance Profiling, 15-a-side game

Performance Profiling is the most accurate, objective way to analyse ability. Coaches should be aware of the benefits of effective profiling and devise templates to gather accurate information. Inaccurate profiling affects the coach-player relationship, so this course highlights the need for objective data, from evidence, not opinion or assumption.
