Performance Coach
Southland’s Performance coaches are responsible for Southland’s very proud sporting record and our great reputation among other provinces nationwide.
Sport Southland works with the Academy of Sport (South Island) to provide support to performance coaches where possible through workshops throughout the year.
The main aim is to provide support to coaches so they can reach their potential and provide regular opportunities to share their experiences with coaches from other codes in Southland.
This willingness and flexibility to share between each other gives our performance coaches many options on how to deal with the many issues that arise when putting together an effective high performance programme while resident in Southland.
Besides our professional sports Rugby, Basketball & Netball many age group representatives that make national teams reside in Southland which is testimony to the very high calibre coaching delivered here.
Our challenge is for more of our Performance coaches to recognised by SPARC and become strong candidates for carding support.
