MY TEAM & ME - for Beginner Coaches
My Team & Me is a new resource booklet developed specifically for young or beginner coaches of Intermediate, Secondary School and lower Club teams. It contains 12 complete sessions from Introduction to Conclusion which will assist coaches for an entire season - very little further preparation will be needed. Ideas are also included for wet days, times when all players cannot be present at training sessions plus a section to help cope with issues that may arise.
The NZ Coach Approach is used with modifications for different levels of ability, although the emphasis is on Years 9-11 and social grade teams.
NNZ CoachForce has prepared a two-hour workshop to helpYear 7/8 and Secondary School coaches how to make the best use of the My Team & Me resource. This workshop is designed to give coaches some foundation tools to use in coaching practice to assist players to learn and develop. Attendance at this workshop is compulsory for those wishing to obtain a copy of the My Team & Me resource.
Please contact your Regional CoachForce Coach for further information about presenting this workshop in your area.
CoachForce have also compiled a free My Team & Me Organisational Plan, 2010 (100.79 kB) to help netball regions, centres, clubs or schools roll out this initiative.

Coaches

Meet netball coaches from around New Zealand who tell us about themselves, and their coaching history.

Nicole Dryden, Netball Coach - July 2009

Where do you live now?

Whanganui.

Where are you from originally?

Ngai TeRangi - Tauranga, Waikato

Club you coach for?

Haven't coached @ club for 10 years, but prior to that Campus (Waikato Uni) & Verdettes(Hamilton).

Rep teams you coach now or have coached in the past?

Waikato Under-19 (two years)
Trust Waikato NPC team (five years)

Western Lois Muir Challenge Team, 2009
Netball Manawatu under 19 Team - present

How long have you coached netball?

Twenty years.

What do you enjoy most about coaching netball?

Meeting and working with people; seeing players grow their game, including the ups & downs of Netball, & watching them achieve their goals

Who has influenced your coaching most, and why?

Previous representative coaches - I followed what I'd learned in terms of their style & approach.
Mentors - these people are a 'must-have' if you want to grow as a coach and as a person.

What's the best or most exciting coaching experience you've had?

It's always exciting (and a relief) to win at national championships.
Some of my most significant coaching experiences have been when we've lost championships and you have to stand up, brush yourself off & go again - makes you a better person and coach.

Name three things you couldn't live without.

1. Love of/for my boys, husband, whanau & Iwi, friends & people in general

2. Challenges

3. Marshmallows

If you could get a ticket to ANY international sporting, cultural or entertainment event in the world, what yould it be?

World Football Championships

Something funny, strange or interesting people might not know about me (and I'm okay with sharing) is...

I'm a closet social basketball player who can't dribble properly or do a layup...and I LOVE it.
Sport 4 Life !!!
