UK Coaching Week: The Great Coaching Comeback
07/06/2021 00:00, I Mewn Blog /
Whatever your environment, whatever your focus, whatever your level, we want to celebrate #GreatCoaching for ALL as we welcome a wider return to the Athletics in Wales.
This year’s UK Coaching Week highlights key themes of reflection, reinvention, and recovery. Our fantastic coaches and leaders have been the driving force behind an innovative evolution of coaching practice which has enabled the sport to continue despite restrictions and further thrive with the opening of society.
We have joined forces with British Athletics and the other Home Countries, and across the week we will be celebrating coaches from our community aligned to themes including;
- Thinking outside the box
- Mental Health and Well-being
- Inclusion
- Communities
Keep an eye out on our Welsh Athletics social media accounts and see if you can spot some familiar faces.
Also, this UK Coaching Week our partners UKCoaching are launching a year-long campaign aimed at directly supporting coaches' return to coaching after pandemic restrictions have been lifted in the UK.
