The following Professional Development (PD) workshops have been developed by the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) to enhance your coaching ability and to enable you to provide a high standard of sport coaching for your athletes. Along with the Multi-Sport modules, the following courses reinforce the National Coaching Certification Program’s (NCCP) core values of continuous improvement and lifelong learning.
Mentorship
7h
The 7-hour Mentorship module is designed to prepare individuals to step into their role as a mentor with clarity of purpose, and confidence in their actions. The training reaffirms and strengthens their abilities and skills as a mentor, while expanding upon the mentor’s knowledge of the mentoring process. Completing the training will provide the mentor with standards and protocols for the implementation of mentoring within their coaching community.
By the end of the training, the mentor will:
- Understand the concept of mentoring;
- Understand the process of cognitive coaching;
- Acquire and perform the communication skills required to be an effective mentor; and
- Utilize the 3 steps of the mentoring process.
Training will include small group tasks, discussions, and de-briefs. The emphasis will be on practicing the communication skills required of a mentor.
