The first Coaching Care Creativity Cafe is on the 6th September.
Join other coaches and discuss your thoughts about some research called: ‘Building a House of C.A.R.D.S.: The Practice Structures of Coaches in a Professional Rugby Union Academy’
A quick insight into the paper:
“Each season, we set out to create opportunities for every player in the Newcastle Falcons Academy to explore the boundaries of their capabilities and adapt to the changing nature of the game of rugby union by developing creativity, awareness, resilience, decision-making and self-organisation (C.A.R.D.S.) skills (England Rugby, 2017) . In this section, we provide real-world examples from the Academy setting of how we structure training activities with the aim of developing C.A.R.D.S. Being constrained by space, we are unable to give exhaustive coverage to our practice structures, but the examples offer a glimpse into how we coach and to how the individual C.A.R.D.S. skills are strongly interrelated.”
Sign ups to the cafe get the reading sent out beforehand. The cafe call is a chance to chat with fellow coaches about the ideas and topics.
Each cafe entry is £5. Discounted entry (£3.99) is for paid subscribers and members
