Study Topics

Methodology

You will develop an understanding of coaching and the philosophy that BirdBox provides. We support the methodology of CrossFit® and aim to take you from learning instructional-based practices to transformational coaching.

Know Yourself

To become a more effective coach we must firstly know ourselves. Who really are you? What is your true nature? What are your traits, provided behaviours and learnt reactions? What do our behaviours say about us, how are we perceived and what is our core personality? 

The Coach-Athlete Relationship.

We will define the coach-athlete relationship. We will increase your understanding of it and how to better your own.

Communication

We will outline different types of communication. Providing skills training to better improve your communication in coaching practice.

Leadership

Leadership will be defined, studied then applied. What type of leader/coach are you? How can you best improve your behaviours to become a greater coach?

Biomechanics

You will explore the principles of biomechanics and how this understanding will guide you to be a more effective coach.

Dependence, Independence &
Interdependence

How much do your athletes depend on you? We as coaches with morals and values should be striving to build athletes that can become proficient in their training.

Motivation

Are you motivational? What makes you motivational? We will build your academic understanding of motivation and how to become more of an effective motivational coach.

Applicable Coaching Models

Through all the topics we will study, specifically the coach-athlete relationship, We will outline some major coaching models which you can use in your own coaching practice. These will be tools to make you a more effective coach.

Identification and Interventions

We will guide you in developing your own coach's eye and how to start to make positive coaching interventions to muscle length or strength when your coaching cues are no longer working for you.

Psychological Skills
Training

We will take a more in-depth look into interventions that you, as a coach, can use to help develop your athlete and your service to them.

Conflict

We will identify various forms of conflict you may face as a coach. We will outline key psychological skills you can train. Providing you with an approach to deal with conflict.

Standards, Master & Maximum Motor Potential

If we make the presumption that you know how to coach an athlete, in terms of psychological and sociological development. The next stage for us as coaches is to focus on the athletes' long-term development and express their maximum motor potential, with you as their coach.

Burnout

We will define burnout. What it is, how to identify it and avoid it. More importantly how to work with someone who has had burnout.

Building or Refining Your Own Coaching Philosophy

CrossFit® is a methodology, and a great one. However we need to have our own coaching philosophy’s that guide us to execute the coaching philosophy effectively.
