Coaching

The NSWIS Coach Development unit ensures coaches are at the forefront of contemporary knowledge and are provided with continuous learning opportunities. NSWIS delivers a contemporary approach to coach development that prioritises the coach at the centre of a lifelong journey.  

The success lies in recognising NSWIS coaches as leaders, fostering diversity and retention in employment, nurturing deep talent, and providing them with confidence, challenges, understanding, empowerment, and holistic support. The Coach Development Unit promotes flexibility, high levels of trust, and a sense of belonging. 

A curious mind and an appetite for continuous learning are key traits of successful coaches.

My diving coach at NSWIS is the reason that I achieved number one. NSWIS has supported me throughout the last 13 years of my training. The support staff have been phenomenal. And I really rely on that support network, particularly as I’ve gotten older in my career.
