Investing in Your Coaching Staff
"Bring in a college coach to present a coaching clinic. We've held these periodically and have invited local high school coaches to attend in addition to our club coaches."
Coaching education gives your staff an opportunity to view the sport through a different lens, share ideas with other motivated coaches and is a great exercise for coaches to engage in critical thinking about the way they do things.
Club directors have a valuable opportunity to create a culture of learning among your staff. By educating your coaches you are investing in your club's culture and coaching staff, while also increasing your club's value. Offering coaching education to your coaches shows them that you are committed to their success, and in turn can be a great asset for retaining quality coaches.
Attending live clinics needs to be near the top of our "to do" list. Learning from the clinicians gives coaches a new perspective but equally valuable is the ability to exchange ideas with other attendees.
Husky Volleyball Club has tried to support our coaches in attending clinics to whatever extent possible.
