coaching

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...

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...

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...

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...

Thumbs around the bar when doing Giants or not?

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

Due to rapid expansion The Callywith Centre is looking for BG qualified staff to join its coaching team. We are no the largest club in Cornwall and need enthusiastic staff to help our expansion. There are opportunities for both gymnastics and trampolining coaches available. For further...

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...

I would like some information regarding coaching, age requirements, qualification level etc and what the guidelines are to coach your own group, not rec level but development and competition groups etc. The question I am trying to ask is what is the minimum age and qualification level needed to...

I am quite interested in learning to coach, sort of like an assistant coach. I currently spend my time doing admin stuff at a playgroup and I sometimes cover for staff members looking after children. For one reason or another I have been spending a lot of time with the children and I have found...

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?

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...

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...

We found out after our meet this weekend that our assistant coach quit and tonight was his last night. He has been with the boys 4 month or so and connected with them. This will be my son's 7th coach in 3 years. He is an 8 year old level 5. Coach left for personal reasons, but I don't know...

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...

Hi All, Hope this is okay to post this on here. I am looking for a coaching position in the Austin area. Preferably as head compulsory coach. I work as an office manager for start up companies, but really would like to make a career from coaching. It is my passion. I have been coaching for...

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...

Any coaches out there that may be familiar with gyms in one of the smaller states in Region 8. I would appreciate it if I could PM you or vice versa

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...
