Leading coaches will be the keynote speakers at the 3rd Annual Herts Coaching Conference 2010 being held at the University of Hertfordshire’s Sports Village on Sunday 21st February 2010.

Our opening key note speaker, Sir Ian McGeechan was an outstanding player for both Scotland and the British and Irish Lions before embarking on a celebrated coaching career in rugby union. He is the only coach to have coached on five British and Irish Lions tours. In recognition of this long and illustrious career in rugby, he was knighted in the New Year’s honours list for his services to rugby.

Head coach at the City of Leeds Swimming Club, Terry Dennison MBE, who nurtured the development of Olympic gold medallist Adrian Moorhouse will be the second of our keynote speakers.

The day will consist of a mixture of keynote addresses, interactive workshops, lectures, and sports specific practical sessions and will also include a number of generic sessions such as managing challenging behaviour, strength and conditioning and core stability for coaches.

Attendance at the conference needs to be pre booked, and whilst preference will be given to Hertfordshire based delegates, the event is open to all coaches from across the UK.  A nominal charge of £10 has been set for delegates, and this will cover attendance at all sessions, and refreshments throughout the day.
