Performance Mentoring with Wayne Goldsmith this October 2022
Champion Choices: Choosing to be Remarkable
Wayne Goldsmith has influenced the coaching, thinking and teaching of some
of the world’s leading athletes, coaches and teams.
This October, Swim Ireland Connacht are offering coaches an exciting opportunity to support their learning and get on-deck with Wayne at three workshops on the technical development of age-group athletes.
Success is a choice. It’s about choosing to do things every day that will help you to be all you can be. In our CHAMPION CHOICES swim clinics coaches will learn how the little things we do in every training session – and in every set – and on every lap – take athletes a step closer to realising their potential. Each session will focus on the integration of the mind and the body in training and racing, and teach athletes how to achieve their swimming goals – sooner.
- Three LIVE workshops in Athlone and Galway
- 12 group consultations with Wayne on Zoom
- 12 months access to WG Coaching Academy courses, worth over €500
- 2 CPD points for every workshop attended
