1. POSITIVE COACHING SCOTLAND MESSAGE WEEKS
Regular communication with parents helps to create a better link between the club, coaches, athletes and parents.
By using social media, , text messages coaches can increase the communication with parents, but also help them reinforce the messages they deliver during training sessions.
Not all coaches have the time or capability to develop a communications plan, providing an opportunity to engage others into the club – take some time to consider who may be able to help with this.
Messages can concentrate on:
High profile events that you wish to discuss
Something that happened during a competition
A message you would like to highlight (i.e. respect)
You can use the message weeks planning template to help you plan your communications.
