Free taster course in sports coaching

As part of its commitment to promote lifelong learning, Herefordshire Council is staging a free taster workshop in sports coaching with applied Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

The free one-day workshop is being held at the Bromyard Centre on Thursday, October 18, from 10am until 3pm.

Eric Antony Moore will be the teacher for the day. Eric trained in the United States with some of the leading pioneers of NPL such as Richard Bandler.

NLP is not a scientific theorem but instead is a set of guiding principles, attitudes and techniques about behaviour in real life. It aims to give individuals a choice on their behaviours, emotional states and physical state of well-being by understanding how the mind works.

Jo Alker, one of Herefordshire Council's learning champions, said: "This one-day workshop will provide sportsmen and women with the difference that makes the difference in sporting performance.

"My aim is to promote lifelong learning and to help people find a higher education route so they can train for as a career as a coach," she added.
