Released: Coaches Academy Weekend Curriculum
I’m extremely thrilled to announce that we have finalized our curriculum for the weekend and will be presenting it in the following active format.
Our weekend breaks down into three main blocks: Design. Teach. Lead.
This is what we value as the three most important factors in effective, progressive, long term sustainability in the coaching profession.
SATURDAY: “Design”
Day One will feature content centered around the understanding of program design. Movement benefit, rep schemes, micro vs. macro programming considerations, an understanding of what drives injury and how to oppose it as a coach, and more.
