Sports Coach

Welcome to the

EBSA Coaching Foundation

Coaching performs a vital role in all walks of life - in business, music, dance, drama and, of course, sport.

Coaching occurs wherever someone is willing to share their expertise and experience with another; combining demonstration, explanation and advice through a planned and structured process.

Effective Coaching helps the participant gain improvement and thus more enjoyment in their chosen activity.

I would like to thank you for enquiring about this course.

My main duty as Chairman of the EBSA Coaching Foundation is to help set up a network of qualified snooker coaches throughout Europe.

The training package you would undertake aims to give you the tools and techniques to be able to achieve this.

The EBSA hopes that a Coaching Foundation in each of the member countries will help to spread the awareness and availability of coaching which, in turn, will promote interest and participation and will go a long way towards cementing snooker’s future in Europe.

This new EBSA Coaching Foundation aims to offer a level and consistency of coaching that is not currently available anywhere else in the world.

Accreditation to the EBSA Coaching Foundation will prove to be something that coaches will be proud to have achieved.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
 

There are a number of things we would like to achieve, with your assistance, during the EBSA training course:

n Giving you the tools and techniques required to become a snooker coach accredited to an EBSA standard. As an applicant for the National Level of accreditation this would include the tools and techniques required for coaching other coaches also

n If you are an existing coach, adding to any existing tools and techniques to allow you to efficiently train players (and possibly other coaches) to an EBSA accredited standard

n Giving you the means to be able to form a Coaching Foundation incorporating all areas within your own country (if required)

n Offering you a guide of how best to administer your Coaching Foundation (if required)

All of you who make the effort to attempt this course will hopefully form the nucleus of the EBSA Coaching Foundation – pioneers so to speak.

Once you have successfully completed the course, which will include some intensive training, you will be offered the opportunity to become an EBSA accredited coach.

Some of you may be experienced coaches already. During the EBSA course it is hoped we will learn from each other, knitting together our ideas and methods so that we end up as a team of coaches, rather than a group of individuals.

Our overall goal should be to offer the same coaching from Iceland to Italy, from Holland to Hungary. A snooker player should be able to move from one side of Europe to the other and still expect a level of continuity in his/her development.

In an attempt to ensure this we will introduce a form of ongoing assessment for all EBSA coaches. Probation periods will be introduced and there will be a facility to withdraw EBSA accreditation if guidelines are not being followed.

The Coaching CD is for sale through GSC
