  • I am a fencing coach of all weapons.
    “I think one of the most important things is that you know your players and who they are and you help them to understand

    themselves”
    There are several reasons why athletes fail to reach their potentials, such as low confidence. This makes the role of coach

    even more important.

    Creating positive learning environments can contribute towards athlete development. The ability to do this is key for a

    good coach.

    Sport can be a vehicle for positive development. It prompts participants to learn, achieve and develop. A coach is in a

    great position to promote the active lifestyles, inclusion and engagement in physical activity. However, this promotion

    doesn’t happen overnight. It takes guidance and an understanding of the power of sport. Coaches should be equipped to

    deliver on these expectations and unlock athletes’ potential.
