Fwd: Get Involved in UK Coaching Week 2021

UK Coaching Week: Be a Part of It

Dear Mark

Join us this #UKCoachingWeek as we celebrate coaches’ instrumental role in accelerating the nation’s recovery following a tough year of pandemic-induced disruption.

Coaches are catalysts for transformational change and the heartbeat of sport and physical activity, and we have a busy schedule of free live interactive events planned to help pump up your energy and enthusiasm for The Great Coaching Comeback.

A key feature of this year’s national campaign will be delivering practical solutions to help the coaching family recover and reinvent at this pivotal time, so that you can reach all those in need of your support – and reach your own potential as a coach.

Learn more about how you can get involved below and help us make this year’s UK Coaching Week the best yet!

JOIN THE CELEBRATION

Share your #CoachingForAll Story

We will be sharing videos of coaches’ lived experiences to showcase what #GreatCoaching looks like and feels like across all sports and in all environments. Record your own video.

•	Why did you get into coaching?

•	What challenges have you faced?

•	What adversities have you overcome?

•	What advice would you give your fellow and aspiring coaches?

Then share it on social media with the hashtag #CoachingForAll, remembering to tag us on Twitter and Instagram.

Help us build a 'video wall' by sharing what #CoachingForAll means to you, so that brick by brick we can enable #GreatCoaching for all.
