Coaching Symposium proves to be thought provoking day

We were delighted to attend the 2024 Coaching Symposium which was organised by both University of Stirling and sportscotland. 

The aim of this year's event was to explore and make sense of the different aspects of sport coaching practice with leading thinkers from industry and academia.  The day was introduced by Dr Scott Simon delivering a workshop on Solutions to the ‘Three Body Problem’.  Delegates were then treated to a series of breakout workshops with 16 in total to choose from ranging from leadership, mentoring, ethical coaching practices and shared mental models.  

Dr Anna Stodter, Senior Lecturer, Carnegie School of Sport at Leeds Beckett University closed the conference with workshop on coach learning and, importantly, how we can become more critical in our interacting with ideas and concepts in coaching.

It was fantastic to see fellow coaches from the archery community in Scotland in attendance and chance to reconnect in person meet other coaches from across the sports sector
