Grassroots
Business Skills for
Coaches
|
|
The role of the
Grassroots Community
Coach has evolved
dramatically over the
last few years from the
"bag and balls" person
into the Community Coach
who sells the sessions
to schools, clubs and
parents, who promotes
the sessions in the
market place and then
delivers them. |
|
The market place in
which this coach works
is now very competitive
and if the coaches don’t
understand how to sell
they won’t get the work,
if they don’t understand
"customer service" they
may not retain their
customers and may lose
their contracts to
competitors. In essence
the coaches need to
"think and act" like a
business people. They
need to have commercial
acumen, understand the
value of "customer
service", and understand
how to communicate
efficiently with their
customers / stakeholders
as well as work to a
strategy which enables
them to be in front of
the competition. |
|
The Sport Coach
"Business Skills"
training packages have
been developed to
provide the coaches with
these business skills
that are totally
relevant to their needs. |
|
The course is run over
one day and areas
covered include building
up a sales culture,
basic marketing skills,
customer service skills,
development of a data
ethos and an
understanding of the
value of social media. |

ahead of the game in
sport, highlighting the
importance of delivering
high quality PE meeting
the attainment targets
of the curriculum as
opposed to being
football specific. |

wonderful and beneficial
experience" Ben Dawson,
