One of the most important things we as coaches can do is to continuously learn, improve and challenge ourselves, pushing our standards of coaching higher and delivering the best we can for our players.
To help develop your coaching skills, the club are organising a series of coach development sessions to take place over the coming months, delivered by experts in their field, which we would encourage each coach to actively participate in.
Every month, a live webinar will be presented by a coach or coach developer, with a Questions and Answers session with the presenter at the end. These sessions are for all coaches in the club, not any particular code or age group; academy, juvenile and adult coaches will all learn and develop from them.
The first of these sessions, "Planning effectively Amidst Uncertainty for 2021", is next Thursday, 3rd December at 8:30pm, and will be delivered by Niall Williams, the Coach Education Coordinator for the Camogie Association. An experienced coach, Niall has coached at senior Inter County level in both Hurling and Camogie with the Meath Senior Hurlers, and the Kilkenny Senior Camogie team, and is still playing club hurling himself.
In this session, Niall will look at topics such as:

• What are the factors and considerations to take into account when planning?
• How do you plan for a session, a month and a year?
• What about setting short, medium and long term goals for your players?
• What should your plans look like, and what should be in them?
• Who should be doing the planning, and when?
