MORE THAN TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE

Being a Good Practitioner Is Only the Beginning

Technical ability is an important part of coaching, but being able to perform a skill and being able to teach that skill effectively are not the same thing.

A good coach needs to communicate clearly, observe and correct movement, adapt teaching to different learners, plan safe sessions and create a positive and professional training environment.
