Swimming Coaches' Courses

If you are a swimming coach looking to do a coaching cours, take a minute to consider these three facts about sports coaching:

  1. Technical knowledge is not a determining factor in coaching performance.
  2. Physical training can only get you so far.
  3. Everything you say and do (as well as don't say and don't do) as a coach impacts your athletes' performance.

It is widely acknowledged that the best swimming coaches don't just focus on the physical side of sport. In fact, the very best coaches are those who understand and take into account their swimmers’ individual personalities, their individual behaviors and motivators.  The very best way to improve your coaching skills is to understand your swimmers to a much deeper level. Athlete Assessments is here to help you do this.

Sports profiling for coaches and swimmers

Two powerful sports profiling products are available to you – one specifically for athletes, and one designed for coaches.  Developed by multi-medal winning Olympian Bo Hanson, they will change the way you approach coaching swimmers.

They are easy to use and will give you the tools you need to become a better coach.  Being online, our profiling products are convenient for you to use at any time, from any location. Your profiling reports deliver highly personalized and specific information for the individual coach or athlete - more useful than any information you would receive from a regular training course.

    1.  Sports profiling for swimming coaches. Get a full analysis of your unique coaching style, and learn how to become a better coach.
    You discover:

    • your unique coaching 'personality'.
    • your coaching style and how to apply it to match athlete requirements.
    • how to be a more effective communicator and motivator for each individual athlete.
    • your strengths as a coach, and areas for improvement.

    2.  Sports profiling for your swimmers . This gives you a detailed insight into your athletes' 'sporting personalities'. You and your athletes can discover:

    • what makes them 'tick' as an athlete.
    • how they need to be communicated to.
    • what motivators and coaching styles help produce their best performances.
