Cycle Coaching Course

[arranandy]

I'm doing my BC level 2 coaching course this weekend. I'm quite looking forward to it and judging by the pre-course reading I've been sent it's going to be a busy weekend.

Has anyone else done this course or similar?

Yes. It's full-on, but good fun. The course work between days 2 and 3 is where most people get stressed/confused/worried/suicidal.

I think I've got to plan and carry out a minimum of 6 coaching sessions for beginner/intermediates cyclists

No problem

At the end of day 1, you will be asked to plan and prepare a 20min coaching session to the other members of the course, to be delivered on day 2 - that's the first hurdle. You will be assessed on it, too. Worry about the stuff between days 2-3 after that..

Hey Arranandy, how did you find the course?

Hey Arranandy, how did you find the course?

it was a busy 2 days but very enjoyable. Good bunch of people on the course and the 2 instructors were very good.
I've got to plan and coach a minimum of 6 sessions before my assessment on the 26th April - already done 2 - and there is also some additional coursework to complete. So far it has been worthwhile

Are you self funding?

I did mine this weekend. Felt the same about how it went. My third day is mid may. Am actually looking forward to it. It was the first time I have ever been to the National cycling centre too so all in all a great weekend!!!

Good luck to both of you!
I failed my cycle trainer course (4 days over 2 weeks) twice

Which course was it Pat? It isn't the easiest thing to do, to stand infront of a group of strangers and tell them what to do and try and remember everything you have to get in there!

I paid for it myself initially but as I am a member of a BC affiliated club I get the cost reimbursed once I pass my final assessment
