Professional Practice in High-Performance Coaching

The Professional Practice in High-Performance Coaching (PPiHPC) is designed for those who are passionate about creating positive High-Performance coaching environments.  It aims to enhance your existing knowledge as a performance coach by broadening your understanding of the concepts that underpin high-performance settings and effective. 

Behind every gymnast or club is a coach, or group of coaches, whose primary aim is to optimise performance.  To meet this aim, you must learn about the art of reflection, leadership and how your actions and behaviours shape the creation of high-performing environments for the gymnasts you work with. 

This course forms part of the High-Performance Coach (Cycle 8) accreditation. It is primarily aimed at Level 4 (or equivalent) coaches wishing to hold the High-Performance Coach (Cycle 8) accreditation. The course is blended learning with face-to-face and online elements delivered by expert practitioners in their respective fields. 

Please note: The PPiHPC accreditation on its own does not qualify a learner to High Performance Coach (HPC) status or guarantee a place on HPC technical courses.  Full HPC status is only gained with both the PPiHPC & the equivalent HPC discipline specific course (Cycle 6, 7 or 8 dependent on discipline).
