As apprentices we are expecting you to be part of all
the camp events during the week. You are here to learn and gain
knowledge for your own personal growth, while working with our staff.
Therefore consistency is very important. The OYM coaching staff has the
sole responsible in delivering all feedback to the athletes.
In addition to the daily schedule
we will offer session specific to coaches only, which will cover topics
such as:
-
Physical coaching skills
- Training methods
- Psychology of the athlete
- Team building activities
As apprentice you will have the opportunity to practice some of your
coaching skills in the sessions of the camp. You are responsible for
your own note taking and we will provide you with opportunity to do so.
You will also have the chance to informally talk with all the staff
members at the camp and use them as your personal resource. As you know,
talking to somebody and using their experience and knowledge base is a
much better method rather then trying to find or read information in a
book or manual.
You will have the opportunity to gain technical knowledge like
nowhere else. Most of the coaches, who you will be working with, have
international caliber playing experience. They will offer a tremendous
knowledge base and are willing to share some of the secrets and tricks
of the trade with you.
