February Seminar Series: Keep the Coaching Romance Alive

Make engagement the focus of your coaching this year and learn to greet and keep clients in 2016. Day 4 of this year’s Regional Coaching CPD Programme (England).

Part-1: “The Dating Game” How to Meet, Greet and Keep Golfers with Steve Astle

 “This workshop will uncover an area of coaching that is still relatively overlooked and will develop the key skills for any coach looking to increase their coaching business, even more than technical knowledge. The skills learnt, particularly client engagement and adding value will be transferable to most other areas of the golf industry. A workshop not to be missed, prepare to be challenged and motivated.” Steve Astle

This interactive workshop will aim to give coaches the tools to engage more effectively with potential and current clients and ensure they are getting inspiring results and experiences with the use of coaching technology and social media. We’ll also look at the after lesson care to ensure all clients will return time and time again. 

The above outcomes will be achieved by looking at real life practical examples from beginners to tour players and will leave delegates with a clear process of how they can keep their diary full and understand how their own coaching performance can be effectively measured and managed.

Come prepared to be challenged, inspired and ready to share.

Part-2: Delivering Engaging Sessions (Young People) with James Morrow 

Do you want to inspire the next generation of golfers? Do you want to maximise retention through those tricky teenage years? We will examine all of the issues facing young people and how to turn them on their head. Be a part of making golf young people’s number 1 choice activity.

All the evidence highlights that numbers of juniors in sport and especially golf is declining, do we need to change? How can we keep our coaching both fresh and creative for juniors whilst maintaining the high levels of enjoyment that help retain that client base?

Share and try out practical ideas with other coaches in delivering more engaging sessions for young people. Help develop your coaching revenue by increasing your recruitment and retention of your clients and enhance your value for your facility putting you at the heart of golf.
