National Coaches Week 2017 - September 22nd - 30th

Coaches Week

National Coaches Week (September 22nd- 30th, 2017) is a time to celebrate the positive impact coaches have on athletes and communities across Canada. This week is an opportunity to recognize coaches for the integral role they play by simply saying #ThanksCoach

National Coaches Week in Nova Scotia this year has a focus on celebrating diversity and inclusion within the coaching community and we have a number of events happening across the province. We will be running some Sport Specific NCCP coaching modules in Millbrook and Membertou targeting community coaches from our Mi’kmaq communities and hosting some workshops that focus on promoting women in coaching. We are also excited to be launching the new “Coaching Athletes with a Disability” eLearning module in partnership with the Coaching Association of Canada.

"Supporting Coaches and Leadership Training across Nova Scotia"

Multi-Sport Campaign spreading positive messages to Coaches and Parents

Early sport specialization is characterized by a high volume of deliberate practice and a low amount of deliberate play in one sport, and focuses on performance as early as age six or seven.*

Early sport specialization is on the rise in youth sport, and it’s a disturbing trend. Many parents of young kids (i.e. 12 and under) genuinely believe that more is better, that they are giving their child an edge by narrowing in on one sport, or even that it is a matter of competitive survival.

The reality, however, is very different. Studies consistently document the dangers. Dangers to the child’s overall development, danger in terms of injury to growing bodies, and danger from burnout. Unfortunately, these facts are not broadly known and parents are often pushed in the wrong direction. Often the push comes in the form of peer pressure from other sport parents or coaches who are equally uninformed or, worse, from private companies who profit from the hype.
