This course empowers you to confidently coach players with impairments by adopting a player-centred approach, focusing on individual needs and potential. Drawing from the LTA Tactical and Technical Development Frameworks, you'll learn to adapt tactics, techniques, feeding, and demonstrations to get the most out of your players.
'How to Coach the Person and not the Disability’ was created by Louise Assioun, current Head Coach of GB’s Blind & Visually Impaired Tennis Team, and Director at LUSU Sports (experts in inclusive sport and activity).
By the end of the course, you'll have a better understanding of:
- Models of inclusion, including STEP principles and AIM
- How a person’s impairment can affect how and what you coach them
- Practical adjustments you might need to make when coaching disability tennis
- Real stories behind players with an impairment, and how tennis has impacted their life
This course is for anybody wanting to learn how to adapt their coaching to see greater improvement in players with an impairment, regardless of your qualification level or the number of years you’ve been coaching for.
Reasonable adjustments are available. Please contact The Coach Lab at the time of booking, so that they can best support you.
