We have been discussing coaching with coaches from home and abroad recently and we document each discussion through our Coach Discussions piece.

If you would like to share your journey with the greater Cricket Ireland community, join the conversation today.

Each month we take a look at research that can enhance your coaching.

This month - The Coaching Process of the Expert Coach: A Coach Led Approach

A pictorial representation of the coaching process brings the process “to life” and provides coaches and coach developers with a conceptualisation of the process by coaches for coaches.

Coaching is complex, to support your own coaching, review the research and look to design your own coaching process.
