Coaching with confidence: Para Dressage and disability
This training day is aimed at any coaches registered with British Dressage or any other governing bodies who have an interest in how to coach inclusively.
A one day training course (3 hours 45 minutes including a lunch break) that focuses on the specialist nature of working with physically impaired people and the different approaches that may be required to aid their progression and development.

The programme will cover areas such as:
- Explore best practice for inclusive coaching to improve confidence.
- Create a safe and positive learning environment through exploring a range of coaching styles.
- Explore opportunities to effectively engage individuals through the use of appropriate language and terminology.
- Learn about practical tools to support inclusive delivery.
