Coaching Development
Coaches can be the key that unlocks potential, supporting athletes to develop skill and strategy, and understand the science behind their training and development.
To support the strength of coaching available to cyclists, Cycling New Zealand offers courses and coach training at all levels for Road, Track, Mountain Bike, and BMX. We also deliver instructor training, growing a network of support to encourage more people to get into cycling, and perform at the level they aspire to.
The opportunities highlighted below are provided through Cycling New Zealand, however others can be self-initiated with your club, centre, region, or through other sports, coaches or industries. By experiencing all of these learning environments you will discover what you want and need to work on to develop your coaching.
A full 2022 annual plan will be out by the end of the year.
