Contact Optimize Fitness to discuss how you, or your coaches, can  be  developed on site at your club. We charge £45 per hour for individual or small group ( maximum 4 ) mentoring or £240 for a 2 hour workshop ( excluding venue hire and possible transport costs ) for up to 20 participants.

​

Most sports clubs pay small fortunes to send their coaches on UKCC Level 1 and 2 workshops which involve weekend courses and periods of supported practise back at the club. The reality is that many coaches return from the 1st weekend of a course and they don't feel ready to coach, are not confident in their own ability or have no mentor to ask for support.

Assessment is a real worry for many coaches who may feel really confident in their knowledge of the sport but are not used to the demands of UKCC courses with portfolios, reflections and coaching diaries

​

Optimize Fitness can support your developing coaches by mentoring them where and when they want, helping develop their portfolios and helping them practise the sessions they will have to deliver during their assessment day.

​

We can also support your coaches after they have passed their coaching course, your investment in them will be reflected in more members, greater standards and better coaching.

​

Optimize Fitness has worked with a range of NGB, universities, county sports partnerships, colleges, private schools, clubs and local councils in delivering coaching courses, workshops and mentoring coaches.

​

Alternatively, you might be working towards UKSCA, BWLA or 1st4sport coaching qualifications in Strength and Conditioning and need some support in improving your technique or completing your portfolio. Optimize Fitness has much experience in mentoring  and  can help you pass these qualifications and further your career in the sport and fitness industry.
