TTA PARA COACHES GROUP ESTABLISHED

TTA PARA COACHES GROUP ESTABLISHED

Last night saw the first video conference held with the newly formed TTA Para Coaches Group. Coaches from all States / Territories who are currently working with or have an interest in coaching Para athletes were invited to be a part of the group.

Sue Stevenson - National Program Manager (Para) said “Alois Rosario (National Head Coach - Para) has been working with Ross Pinder (Paralympics Australia Skill Acquisition Specialist) over the last 5 years within our Para HP Program developing a coaching model that challenges the traditional way of on table training and the results have been outstanding, to a point where the National Para HP Program was recognised as one of the top 4 High Performance (Able body & Para) Programs in Australia at the 2019 AIS Sports Awards. With Coach Education being one of TTA’s strategic priorities specifically on ‘creating a culture of working together to create internationally competitive athletes’ we wanted to share our knowledge on the success we have achieved within our National Para HP Program by firstly establishing this Para Coaches Group and then by developing a series of coach education seminars specifically for coaches working with Para athletes”.

Thanks to all of the Coaches who joined us last night. It was great to get to know you all and we are looking forward to sharing our knowledge with you all.
