A chara, The biggest ever coaching survey conducte

A chara,
The biggest ever coaching survey conducted in Irish sport will see the GAA, LGFA and Camogie Association join forces to help shape the future development of Gaelic games.
Coaches at every level of football, hurling and camogie are being encouraged and urged to make their voices heard via the online survey. The Gaelic games Coach Survey 2020 is a unique opportunity for coaches to provide an insight into their role, and their needs.
This survey will look at all our coaches’ experience, their practice and how coaches see coaching into the future. We are also very interested in coaches’ experience of coach education, and what coaches feel are their own learning needs. Those people that have dropped out of coaching are also part of this survey, to help us understand why they are no longer coaching, and whether there is anything that we can put in place to encourage them back into coaching.
We are asking all coaches to complete the survey and to circulate this survey amongst all the coaches within your club.
To access the survey, you can click on the link in the Middle East GAA Instagram bio.
Alternatively, you can visit the GAA Learning website - https://learning.gaa.ie/coachsurvey or email gamesdevelopment@gaa.ie

Coaches who complete the survey will be offered the chance to take part in a draw, whereby four respondents will win Coaching Master Class sessions. The Coaching Master Class will involve a coaching session for the winning coaches' own team, and a coaching workshop for all of the coaches within their Club.
Thank you for your support in this. The feedback that we receive will be crucial in planning coaching and coach education programmes in the coming years.

Is mise,
Dr. Peadar Ó hArgan/ Dr. Peter Horgan
Oifigeach Oideachais / Education Officer
