EuroHockey is delighted to announce 18 new coaches have been chosen to take part in the Top Coaches Programme (TCP) and the Coaches for Europe (C4E) programme following the selection process by the EuroHockey Coaching Committee.
“We hope all coaches having a great experience on the programmes,” said Chair of the EuroHockey Coaching Committee Inez Cooper.
“For those who may be disappointed at missing out on selection for this year, there will be another opportunity next year!”
The TCP is an international coaching programme which is designed to support coaches who want to work at an elite level within the game.
Exploring the principles of coaching, devising and developing strategic nous, evolving a coaching philosophy and understanding the management of teams and individual athletes are all part of this comprehensive, world class programme.
The C4E programme is aimed at coaches with the potential to become a high performance coach, either with top club teams or national teams. It focuses on developing a philosophy of coaching incorporating individual technical and tactical skills as well as developing a wide knowledge and understanding of team tactics.
Eight new coaches have been added to the TCP programme, joining nine currently in their second year of the programme.
In C4E, there are 10 new additions joining 13 participants who have advanced to their second year.
