Knowledge of the game

Compared to their full-time or elite counterparts, volunteer coaches know less about their sport. To close the gap in knowledge of the game, coach education courses are big business. But just how important is the gap?

Speaking to coaches last night it became clear to me their success relied on innovation, not coaching. A chance to do something that matters, something no one else is doing, was at the heart of our conversation. Knowledge about the game is not nearly as important as the curiosity to want to solve the challenges you face now.

If you are a coach who would like the chance to speak up you can find us here.
