Setting The Right Environment

One of the key objectives at the start of any Sports Leaders UK course should be to establish the right environment to allow learners to feel comfortable to develop their leadership skills. A good way to go about this is to establish yourself as a role model that you want your leaders to emulate. This will give your leaders a 'template' from which they will be able to develop their own leadership styles around.

During the process of your learners developing their leadership skills, how do you want them to feel?

  • Supported
  • Confident
  • High self-esteem
  • Happy
  • Knowledgeable
  • Respected
  • Safe

This will be the same for all of your leaders, however, delivering your course with each learners' needs and experience in mind will support you to ensure you set the right environment.
