Instructor & Coach Education 

Instructors and coaches are crucial to the development of our sport, and the resources based here give guidance, inspiration and ideas on how to improve both the instructor and coaches performance, and that of the participant.

We work hard with the RYA to support the development of instructors and coaches across Scotland. To capture all of this work we are currently drafting our Coaching Strategy. This is built on four principles:

• Continual Professional Development
• Mentoring
• Transition Training
• Working with Partners  

These are as applicable to a windsurfing SI as they are to a Powerboat trainer or a Level 2 racing coach. We will publish our plan in more detail in due course. Even before this is published there are still a number of resources available to support. Links and downloads are available from this page as too is an application form for small grants to support your personal development.  

We are also keen to recognise the efforts of instructors and coaches who really make a difference to our community at our annual awards.
