Hi Tigers, 9 Oct 2020
I would like to advise everyone of some subtle changes made to the coaching program to hopefully increase attendance. Originally it was planned to conduct structured training and “Tiger Tips” on Thursdays, however it is considered that attendance will be better on a Friday as for previous years.
I will re introduce Friday afternoon structured sessions from next Friday 16th October. These will continue to be run from 3:30 ~ 6:00 until mid November.
One on one sessions will also move to a Friday effective from Friday 23rd October. If you wish to book a one on one session please put your name on the noticeboard in the clubhouse.
Our next “Tiger Tips” will be held next Friday 16th October 5~6pm, it would be great to see you there. The topic for this talk is “Pennants is on” which will cover – Game strategy, How to get the best out of our team, How do we change results, Players roles and expectations by position, The winning formula.
A quick summary of drills training sessions until mid November
Every Tuesday 10am ~ midday
Thursday 15th October 3:30 ~ 6:00pm
Friday 16th October 3:30 ~ 6:00pm
Friday 23rd , 30th October, 6th November 3:30 ~ 6:00pm
I hope to see you out on the green so we can get ready for a great season of bowls.
cheers

About Les
Les’ approach to coaching is one of working closely with players to ensure that they get a positive outcome from each coaching session, however small that outcome may be. He focuses on all aspects of the game including technique, mental approach and strategy and he is able to provide this to all players from the novice to the most experienced bowler. He is a strong advocate of mentoring and works hard to implement this as a scheme for transferring knowledge from experienced bowlers. This is also a great strategy for building team morale within a club.
It has been his experience that a sound coaching platform provides many benefits for a club. It is the basis for player attraction and retention. It improves club morale and team spirit and as players’ skills and confidence increase then a club’s competitive edge improves.
