Sport Otago

Sport Otago's Coach Development Workshops support coaches at every stage of their coaching journey, providing practical tools, expert guidance and opportunities to connect with other coaches from across Otago.

More than 300 coaches representing a wide range of sports have already taken part in our workshops, with sessions delivered across the Otago region featuring an outstanding lineup of guest speakers and coaching experts.

The workshop series is built around the holistic growth and development of coaches. Developed by Sport Otago Community Sport Advisor William Hola, with input and endorsement from regional sports organisations across Otago, the workshops are designed to be relevant, practical and impactful for coaches from all sporting codes and all levels.

The next phase of the series, which kicks off on September 16, focuses on reflection, cultural identity and creating positive environments where people can thrive and perform their best.

Whether you're wrapping up a winter season, preparing for summer, or coaching across both, this is an opportunity to step out of delivery mode, reflect on your coaching and take new ideas into your next season.

Sessions are interactive, with plenty of opportunity to share experiences, challenge your thinking and learn from coaches working in different sporting environments.

The workshops are open to coaches of all sports, all levels and all experience.

Because there is real value in connecting with coaches outside your own sporting environment – sharing experiences, hearing different perspectives and discovering new approaches that can strengthen your coaching.
