Coaching Youth - The Passage of Puberty(2.5 Credit Hours) 2022 dates coming soon
Coaching teenagers can be hugely rewarding and at the same time challenging as they undergo the rapid transformation of puberty. Many teenagers, particularly girls, struggle with body-image, self-esteem and performance anxiety to the extent that many give up sport and exercise altogether. This session takes a look at competition, training, hormones and the divergent paths of boys and girls, and discusses the key role the coach can play in a young athletes life to set them up for an adulthood of healthy competition and positive relationship to their bodies.
INSTRUCTORS:
Lorraine Moller
Lydiard Foundation President, four time Olympic and 1992 Olympic Marathon Bronze Medalist.
Colin Lancaster
Colin Lancaster is a UK coach in the Shropshire area, and instructor of the Lydiard I&II Coaches Certification Course. Along with his wife Anne Thorpe, Colin is the co-founder of Lydiard Foundation UK and the popular beginners’ programme, Chatty Sparkly Runners.
Dr. Steve Stannard
Until 2019 Dr Stannard was a research academic and Professor in Exercise Physiology at Massey University in New Zealand.
He holds a PhD in Sport and Exercise Science and a Masters of Nutritional Science, both from the University of Sydney.
As an academic, he conducted research primarily at the interface of sport/exercise physiology and human nutrition, but also in the area of endurance training and performance and recovery from severe exercise.
In his younger years, Dr Stannard represented Australia on a couple of occasions, as a road-racing cyclist and is still a keen, but occasional competitor in club-level bicycle racing, but mainly in the wake of his children.
His daughter has three times represented NZ in the World Elite Triathlon Championships and once at the Youth Olympics, and his oldest son has twice represented NZ, and twice Australia, at the World Road Cycling Championships, and now rides for the Bike Exchange World Tour cycling team.
Dr Stannard has personally coached a number of road-racing cyclists to National titles, World Championship participation, and professional contracts and has attended three road cycling World Championships as a coach, and also one event as the assistant NZ team manager.
The past few years he has grown my own retail hospitality business, as a break from academia, but also as a means of obtaining experience in the commercial sector. He is currently an independent board member for Deliveon Health Ltd, a start-up company providing nutritional supplements for the aged population.
Over the past two years he has written fortnightly Opinion Pieces for regional and national print and online media where he takes an evidence-based analytical approach to current issues.
