British Blind Sport and UK Coaching have created a new eLearning course ‘Coaching People with a Visual Impairment’.
This new course raises awareness of the crucial role coaches’ play in helping people with visual impairments (VI) overcome barriers to participation in sport and physical activity, complementing UK Coaching’s ‘Person-centred’ principle of great coaching.
Complete this course and you will feel more confident including people with a visual impairment in your sports and activity sessions.
Packed full of helpful tips, practical solutions and vibrant videos*, the 6 modules will increase your knowledge, assurance and skills to be able to coach people with a visual impairment.
“It’s really important the coach education starts at grassroots. There are still too many coaches who aren’t confident around visually impaired people.”
Sophie Thornhill, Paralympic Champion
