NCCP: Performance Theory

Performance Theory

This module is officially titled: NCCP Competition Development Performance Cycling Workshop in the Coaches Association of Canada LOCKER system.

Cycling BC members 18 years and older may participate in the 85-hour Performance Coach (Comp-Dev) pathway, including this Performance Theory workshop facilitated by Cycling Canada.

The Performance Coach pathway is for leaders who support and lead provincial or national team projects and manage Cycling Canada Trade Teams or international elite-amateur teams. The module helps you prepare to lead practices and events for participants in the “Train to Compete” and “Train to Win” stages of the Long Term Development.

Participants work through various individual and small group activities to discuss advanced sport-specific skills, develop healthy travel habits, and reinforce the importance of team building, work/life balance, and goal-oriented preparation.

The module is facilitated online over 6 x 3-hour sessions. Participants are expected to attend and actively participate in each session. Please ensure that your video and microphone are working well and that you have completed the pre-event homework (included in your registration confirmation email). Participants who miss a session can watch the recording but must submit their assignment before the next session.

This particular event is organized and facilitated by Cycling Canada.
