Background Readings

Hopefully you have read the 3 initial readings from the orientation week:

Increasing the Effectiveness of Formal Coach Education: Evidence of a Parallel Process

Understanding the Change Process: Valuing What it is That Coaches Do

Understanding the impact of sport coaching on legacy

Given your background and experiences can you explain your experiences of formal coach education, whether you feel valued as a coach and your understanding of how sport coaching fits into the 'political' framework of your country. I realise that some of you may be coming from different backgrounds, for example, coach developers or dance specialists, but you may interpret these readings from your own perspective - just let us know what it is.
