No its part of my BCF coaching module
A little while back (after being rejected for the England job) I decided to make my interest in training matters official, by taking my coaching 'badges'
Whilst we have dozens of excellent coaches in the club (see training forum
) not many seem to be qualified, so I've embarked on the long/arduous/expensive task of becoming bona-fide and qualified to talk all that rubbish I normally talk about on the training threads. Actually CW is paying for everything (just as well cos it costs a bloody fortune) as long as I write features about it - so there you go. Soon we'll have an insiders view on how good (if at all) BC coaches really are, and (hopefully) a qualified coach in the club
Apart form the coaching modules I'm also undergoing all sorts of ancilliary education about first aid treatments, group leading skills, and security measures which ascertain whether I'm fit to coach children and animals.
