Create a culture and environment focused on long term success<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn through play with your younger swimmers. Let them experiment and have fun. Create a genuine love of the sport!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-Sport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Encourage your swimmers to participate in multiple sports to help build all-round physical literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Independence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create independent and autonomous swimmers who are capable of good decision making and self-regulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Development Window<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure training is appropriate for the age\/stage of their development. If you jump ahead it can become difficult to back-track later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Humility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create humble athletes that are eager to learn. Humility is the foundation of learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure that your program is a fun place to be. If your swimmers are not having fun with you, they will find somewhere else or another sport where they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life-Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teach your swimmers appropriate life skills. It is easier to build strong performance behaviours once they are in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Engage the parents in your club. Tell them what you are doing and why, so they understand the journey their children are on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/splash.middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/10-Tips-for-Development-Coaches.pdf\">10-Tips-for-Development-Coaches<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/splash.middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/10-Tips-for-Development-Coaches.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten requirements for age group programs to be engaging, effective and supportive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coach","category-training"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=241"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":296,"href":"https:\/\/middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241\/revisions\/296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/middlesbroughasc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
