Thought Question 2

Coaches have been said to learn in a variety of ways:

•Coach education programmes
•Experience
•Observing other coaches
•Books
 
More recently, the internet has become a ready available source of information, although there are certain caveats. There has been a lot of discussion around networking and communities of practice (CoP) as an optimal method of encouraging coaches to share and develop, and, of course, mentoring is being or has been utilised by a number of NGBs.
 
How do you think that you have learned up to this point as a coach?
