Coaching is a highly challenging, demanding and yet satisfying career. Coaches not only help athletes realise and reach their maximum potential in the sporting arena but are also instrumental in shaping their character.
The multifaceted roles played by a coach also go beyond just the playing field. Coaches also help nurture positive values such as teamwork, perseverance, and the never-say-die attitude that will help their athletes to develop the resilience needed to handle many of life's challenges.
We adopt a holistic and inclusive approach towards developing, recognising and raising the standard of sports and coaches in Singapore. Some of the new initiatives that will be introduced to support the implementation of plans in the next phase of the National Coaching Development Plan (NCDP), in particular, elite coaching and those interested in an introductory programme include,
- professional development programmes to develop and enhance the competencies of identified high performance and elite coaches.
- a structured mentorship programme for identified high performance and elite coaches.
- an introductory coaching programme for parents, volunteers, teachers or anyone who wish to facilitate a safe and conducive playing environment for their charges.
- an improved Continuing Coach Education (CCE) programme for beginners to elite level coaches.
