COACHING GIRLS IN SPORT WORKSHOP
Coaching Girls in Sport: Helping Girls Stay & Thrive Free Workshop
Hi team, Bella Doherty here again. I wanted toinvite all our volunteers to get involved with a special event being held at Collingwood Basketball Stadium, 10 am on the 29th of March. Funded by the Girls and Women’s Pathways (GWP), a free workshop on Coaching Girls in Sport will be presented by Centre of Healing & Juatine through Sport (CHJS), Australian Lead Consultant, Kate Thomas. Collingwood is excited to have Kate back to inspire and educate more of the community. Some words from Kate as to what you will expect from the workshop.
‘The focus is to inform coaches, volunteers and others working in sport who want to better support girls to stay involved and thrive. Drawing on research and practical experience, the session explores how connection, confidence, competition, feedback and team culture shape girls’ sporting experiences. Participants will leave with practical strategies to create environments where girls feel safe, supported and confident to challenge themselves — helping more girls stay in sport and enjoy the physical, social and emotional benefits it offers. The 90-minute workshop will be valuable for those wanting to better educate and resource themselves.’
