IT’S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A GOOD COACH, BUT THAT’S NOT THE ONLY THING
Of course the goal of any good martial arts program is to have success in building up the focus, discipline and confidence in our young kids. Add to that, some good self defence skills and some fitness that will help them in years to come is an excellent by-product as a minimum.
Having a good coach in kids sport is clearly important for a few reasons.
The list could go on. BUT………………………….
IS THE PROGRAM GOOD?
✅ Does it deliver on developing your child?
✅ Is it challenging enough for them to be able to explore their physical, mental and emotional limitations?
✅ Is it age specific? (see above)
✅ Are the classes big enough to have a good vibe? But small enough so that the instructor team is not overwhelmed?
✅ Do you see your child being pushed in certain ways, but leaving happy?
Your class instructor is important for all of these things. What ensures the success of the instructor though, other than just heaps of experience is a good thought out, tested and tried program, curriculum and plan. Just for kids……and adults too actually.
