Publisher's Synopsis
Effective Coaching: The Coaching Process for Climbing Instructors covers pedagogy or the theory of teaching and learning, relating it specifically to rock climbing. We cover many different models some come from a more classroom and instructional background whilst others cover the coaching of individuals in physical skills. We also explore several other theoretical underpinnings of coaching climbers. In particular how anxiety effects learning and what we can do to counteract any negative effects. As well as more general coaching topics like communication, leadership and reflective practice. An ideal reference book for climbing coaching and instructional awards.
