Coaching Development

Just as one may be a brilliant mathematician yet struggle to teach a variety of learners mathematical concepts, a physically talented athlete will not necessarily become an effective coach. Coaching development is essential for developing coaches’ full potential and subsequently helping youth to achieve positive experiences in sport.

Move Live Learn offers consulting services related to both coaching education, and evaluation of coaching.  We are experienced in speaking to groups of coaches, athletes, and / or parents in order to educate and inspire them.

Consultants at Move Live Learn are also available to evaluate sport associations and sectors.  Our strong understanding of physical literacy and its place within a sport framework, as well as the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model would aid any association or sector.

Services for coaches who serve athletes both inside and outside of the school setting include:

“I remember one of the great lessons that I learned about coaching from Amanda when she was my instructor at the University of Virginia. It was about being understanding and not jumping to conclusions if an athlete shows up late to practice. Amanda encouraged me to first determine if a test was a failed, if a ride didn’t show up, or so forth. I learned from Amanda that a student athlete being late could be an opportunity to show compassion and to make myself available to a youth in need rather than an opportunity to be frustrated without all the details. I would recommend any business that Amanda is associated with.”
