Report on Coach and Instructors Development Workshop at Kibworth
Report on Coach and Instructors Development Workshop at Kibworth
Yesterday, Jason Rowntree and John Robinson facilitated the third Coach Development Workshop at Kibworth Gun Club, Leicestershire.
Seven eager participants assembled for the day at this long-established shooting ground to work on developing and improving knowledge and skills and how they might improve as coaches. With a variety of shooting backgrounds and experiences as coaches, all were keen to share with each other and the facilitators the complexities of coaching shooting and how they might become better.
Again, this Workshop saw two participants returning to top up and develop their skills and understanding of the shooting and coaching processes.

Many thanks to you and your wife for hosting us and serving such delicious food and lovely cakes! They were worth the drive!
Looking forward to another session next year to refresh and improve my skills.”
