Becoming a coach

drewfromrisca

Ok first of all I don't know if this is in the right section or not so apologies if it's not but I'm trying to find out the advantages/difficulties/prospects etc of becoming a coach through British Cycling as I've seen on the website. Has anyone done/known someone who's done it? Any opinions? All help greatly appreciated.

Straightforward enough. Do the level 2 course (3 days over 2 weekends), produce your coaching session diaries, do your Ist Aid course, and find someone/people to coach. then take the specialist modules in road or track if that is your interest.

You are unlikely to make any money out of it, but it can be fun,, esp. coaching kids. If you want to do that, find out the nearest Go-ride club.
