East Coaching Talent Programme

Scottish Gymnastics are one of 23 Scottish governing bodies working in partnership with sportscotland to develop performance focused coaches in the East of Scotland through the East Coaching Talent programme'. Nine coaches have been nominated by Scottish Gymnastics to be part of the programme and these coaches will receive support through access to development workshops and the opportunity to create a coaching development plan.

The programme launches in April 2012 with workshops in the first six months on Performance Planning, Performance Enhancement and Injury Prevention, Talent ID & Mindset, Sports Psychology; The Role of the Coach and Performance Analysis Training.  The workshops are delivered by a mixture of top facilitators, experts from local universities and high performance coaches across a number of sports and will involve aspects of theory and practical delivery.  Coaches can attend a series of workshops in each topic with the opportunity to implement what they have learnt and reflect on their successes in future workshops.

The sportscotland regional coaching and volunteering managers have been working closely with the sportscotland institute of sport Talent team to create an innovative approach to creating coach development plans and following the 'Talent ID & Mindset' workshop in May 2012 up to 20 coaches on the programme will be further supported to create a development plan and incorporate a growth mindset attitude within their coaching.’

Coaches for this programme have been selected from Trampolining, Teamgym, Acrobatics and Rhythmic.
