Foundation Level Course - Hawkes Bay

29/8/2019

Touch Hawkes Bay held their first Foundation Level Coaching course of the season, and the future of our coaching community in Ngati Kahungunu is looking pretty choice!

We reached out to see how things went - the good, the challenging - and everything in between. 

THB  Coaching Director, Dynamite Dan shared his whakaaro after the course  had wrapped up. 


In his own words; 

Lots of energy and enthusiasm with loads of fun and learning was achieved by a group of experienced coaches in attendance for the 1st of 2 Foundation level practical courses we have planned for Ngati Kahungunu this year..
Well done coaches! 

Our future in Hawkes Bay looks very promising if this is anything to go by!

5 key points from myself I wanted to achieve were:
1. Deliver all contents with confidence and clarity.
2. Nail the key messages/outcomes of each one.
3. Keep to the time schedule.
4. Use effective push/pull technique. 
5. Bring lots of positive energy to the lesson.

Work on's would include:
1. 20/80.. not 80/20! :/
2. Started late. Waited for 6 non shows! (15min)
3. ACC/AWHI component. 

Nevertheless, very pleased with my first delivery and definitely want to do more in the future!

Feedback from participants were:
1. Course was fun and engaging.
2. Mateship amongst coaches amazing.
3. All were excited and glad they attended.
4. Regardless of experience, all were able to take away new tools and learning.
5. Removing of financial barriers were key factor in having 2 participants attending.

Lastly, on behalf of myself and the THB Coaching community we would like to acknowledge the AWHI and TAUTOKO shown by Riki Enosa of Counties Manukau  who travelled all the way from Auckland the morning of our course to support our team. His knowledge and input was invaluable but more importantly, his assistance and reassurance gave me the self confidence and belief that I can do this!!

Thank you very much Riki.

Naku noa, na Daniel de Thierry.
THB Provincial Coaching Director.

Wow… I have received amazing feedback of an awesome group of coaches with great energy and enthusiasm taking part in the Foundation Course last week! Some great Touch minds,  boundless passion, and open minded thinkers. If this is a good representation of Counties future… we wait eagerly to see the fruits!

And wonderful to hear a few legends from within the region were present too!

Thank you all for your time to attend this Foundation Level 1 – Practical Workshop. Touch NZ and Counties Manukau Touch Association appreciate your time and commitment to improve your ability to make a positive difference with the people you work with.

We hope you all enjoyed the evening and took some new learnings away.

For those that attended and are interested in grabbing copies of the resources that were utilised at the workshop - flick me an email and I will forward them through. We also have  a whole heap of other  soft copies of additional resources that could be helpful for your coaching toolbox. Get in touch, and we will sort you out. 

Coaching is a fun and rewarding but sometimes a hard and solo gig. I recommend you continue to keep in touch with this great group as a supportive network on your journey. Remember to increase your ability of keeping your players injury free, familarize yourself and your province with TouchFit 360 - ACC Sport Smart initiatives. You can find more information here.

Feedback please – Counties Manukau and Touch NZ are doing their best to offer a quality course. To assist us, could you please take 2-3 minutes to fill in the survey monkey feedback form. 

Once again thank you for your time and your contribution to the kids, community, province, and this great game

Touch…what a game!


Nga Mihi,

Our 2019 Touch NZ Coach Developers Conference was held 19th -21st July  at Auckland's Kings College. 

30 open-minded attendees representing 14 forward thinking provinces took part in an amazing 3 day Wananga. This weekend was designed to bring out the best in our Coaching Development team - empowering them to own the development of the community coaching landscape in their respective provinces.

The 3 days from this year’s conference could be summarised by three key statements:

1.            Developing coaches of coaches and developing people

2.            Caring for people’s first encounter with the sport and the province

3.            Big and small collaborations/focuses to ensure win-wins for all

Over the weekend all attendees looked to extend themselves, their capabilities, and knowledge within a supportive, fun, relative, and collaborative approach. 

Some of the areas that added real meaning to the weekend included: Touch NZ Frameworks/Strategies/Pathways; Community coaching focuses; Coaching Pathways; Coach Developer/Facilitator Skills; Practical Delivery Opportunities; Delivery Techniques; Observation and Feedback Processes (REVIEW Process); Understanding Self; and Future Planning and Goals .

Make sure you check out the weekend wrap video - right here
