SCB@EdUHK Workshops for Tutors came to a close successfully

The 30-hour SCB@EdUHK Workshops for Tutors came to a close in December 2022.  

Seventeen sports coaches (tutors) from 5 partnered organisations participated a series of workshops, including both online (9 hours in total) and face-to-face sessions (15 hours in total) from September to October. The online workshops focused on Empowering Coaching and they were designed and led by the Empowering CoachingTM team from the University of Birmingham with assistance by the project teams of EdUHK and National Taiwan Normal University. EdUHK then led the face-to-face sessions which focused on the implementation of Sport Character Building. Details are available at Successfully held Workshops for Tutors marked the first milestone of SCB@EdUHK.  

Later in November and December 2022, participating tutors completed their self-study and practice delivery session. In the practice delivery session, tutors coached sports coaches with the concepts of Empowering Coaching in order to build up autonomy, sense of belonging and competence among youth sport athletes.  Also, our project team observed and gave feedback to tutors during the practice delivery session so as to build up their confidence and encourage them to make use of what they had learnt in their upcoming coach workshops.  

The tutor workshop was ended with a consultation session. In this consultation session, tutors shared the difficulties they encountered and the teams from University of Birmingham and EdUHK gave suggestions and directions about applying Empowering Coaching ideas in their coaching practices.
