    WAG I have some Highschool coaching questions, can anyone help?

    I recently got asked to fill a Highschool coaching job on a part time basis. I'm learning this actually means fulltime with part time pay. Regardless I couldn't say no as they were going to just cancel the season. So here I am with a whole bunch of questions. I'm hoping someone can help me with...

    WAG Nutrition component of coaching

    Just wondering your experience with how much, what kind, how intense, how it is delivered... the education/coaching/training your gym includes about nutrition/diet? There seems to be a current focus on it at the gym (24 hour food recall at practice, fast food avoidance, counseling to reduce...

    Coaches Coaching, fee discount, and tax?

    I am slowly getting back into coaching :) Once I get my certification/recertification organised, I will be paid. As I am paying fees, is it possible to get my coaching hours set against the fees? If I do that? How does it work regarding tax? Do I need to declare it as a benefit, or pay tax...

    Parents Questionable coaching practice?

    My 8 year DD just started summer practice with a new male coach. She was a bit nervous with the new coach so she asked me to stay for warm ups. Which I did. As the girls were doing Back Handsprings the coach told my dd not to bend her legs, then had them do BHs again. Apparently DD had bent legs...

    WAG How much coaching fluctuation is typical?

    Do HC's usually stay shorter term? What about assistant coaches? How long have your child's coaches been at their gym?

    Coaches Underpaid for coaching

    I recently had an 'appraisal' with my immediate boss at the leisure centre I coach at. This is very casual work and there are some months that I don't rack up any hours at all, and some when I do 30. During my appraisal my manager asked me about development plans and I said I was booked to begin...

    Coaching

I currently spend my time doing admin stuff at a playgroup and I sometimes cover for staff members looking after children.

    WAG Getting involved in coaching?

    I'm curious about summer job opportunities for teen optional gymnasts or even those who have left the sport. Do teen gymnasts at your gym have the chance to work at summer rec. day camps or teach preschool gym classes?

    Coaches lazy coaching? hands off normal for comp?

    As an NCCP level 2 coaching rec, I'm constantly moving. Adjusting, spotting, correcting, demonstrating, encouraging, consoling. I wear a watch for timings and leave tablets and phones in the coaching room where (personally) I feel they belong. Coaching is an active and attentive position and...

    Parents Cheers to great coaching!

    I just have to give a shout out to great coaches! At our gym, we have what I would say are good coaches, who understand how to teach the skills at all levels. But, I have discovered that great coaches understand so much more! Just before competition season started, we had a "new" coach come to...

    WAG Normal coaching behavior at meets

    Hi all, My Dd had her first optional meet a few days ago. Her normal coach was there as well as the head coach who never works with her. She is still a little weak on bars due to bent legs and is working to improve. During warm-up on bars, the HC noticed her bent legs and told her he would...

    My first meet ever will be Sunday, November 23rd. I'm really excited, but of course am a little nervous, too. This will be the first meet I've ever coached, and it will also be the girls first time competing. To ease my nerves, and simply because I'm curious, are there any of you who would like...

    WAG Urgent: Unsafe Coaching

    I was going to put this in the coaches forum, but I thought I would get more input here for all different points of views. What does one do about unsafe and under-qualified coaches? Some how I'm working with a very under qualified gymnastics coach, i.e does not have a certificate in gymnastics...
