Event Description

This ‘LTA Padel How to Coach the Person and not the Disability’ course empowers you to confidently coach players with impairments by adopting a player-centred approach, focusing on individual needs and potential. Drawing from the LTA Tactical and Technical Development Frameworks, you’ll learn to adapt tactics, techniques, feeding, and demonstrations to get the most out of your players.

‘LTA Padel How to Coach the Person and not the Disability’ was created by Louise Assioun, and Sue Morrison, who are Directors at LUSU Sports (experts in inclusive sport and activity), along with Jo Cunliffe who is an LTA Tutor and Director of Court Craft.

During this course you will:
  • Have a better understanding of models of inclusion, including STEP principles and AIM
  • Begin to understand how a person’s impairment can affect how, and what, you coach them
  • Learn practical adjustments you might need to make when coaching disability padel
  • Hear real stories behind players with an impairment, and how padel has impacted their life
This course is for anybody wanting to learn how to adapt their coaching to see greater improvement in players with an impairment, regardless of your qualification level or the number of years you’ve been coaching for.
