Mike Ford - England Rugby Union & British Lions Coach

​

“As an England rugby union coach I have attended plenty of career development and coaching courses. These courses have provided me with many good ideas, concepts and theories, but non have impacted on me the way the PDS Performance coach course has.


The training consisted of one day per week learning practical techniques, followed a few days later by one-on-one mentoring with direct feedback and reviewing. All theories and techniques were explained in a way that I understood and could immediately integrate into my own coaching. This style of learning was fantastic and has moved my coaching forward in leaps and bounds.


Within four weeks my own coaching has been transformed! This is not just short-term change either; I believe this course has changed the way I will coach for the rest of my career. I have no doubt the techniques I have learnt have had a positive influence on the performance of the England team.


Any coach who is serious about maximising the performance potential of the athletes and teams they are working with needs to experience PDS Performance coach course for themselves.”

PDS COACHING LIVE CONSULTING

Live Consulting is very flexible and always designed around your individual needs; for a team, organisation, University or coach/manager. Below are some popular options, but I will always discuss your individual needs before suggesting a package.

ABOUT LIVE CONSULTING

OPTION 1

​

These options show how a whole team can be supported or an individual within a team or working on their own.

​

This is based on primarily supporting you, but also providing some training and mentoring time to all the coaches you work with. This accelerates the behaviour changes as a team for both coaches and athletes as all coaches understand the principles and can support each other to develop the desired culture and environment.

 

  1. All coaches take videos on themselves coaching with sound so I can hear what is said. Coaches review video with bullet points next to the time. Video get sent to me with notes so I can review the video and the views of each coach.

  2. All coaches take the Judgement Index (JI) before my first meeting. You will all receive your results via email with a one to one chat over the phone. The chat will explain the breakdown of the results, what the mean and how you can make the most of your individual skills. This includes how you naturally interact and deal with other people.

  3. Meet all coaches for a brief overview of my involvement, support and philosophy with some basic principles training.

  4. Observe and support live coaching sessions with any requested one to ones before and after the session. Initially once a week, then moving to monthly with phone support weekly.

  5. Ongoing video reviews. Initially once a week, then moving to monthly with phone support weekly.
