Inclusive Sports Coaching
Therapy Through Sport
Inclusive Sports Coaching provides 1 to 1 sport and physical activity services for people with a disability, autism, are disadvantaged or have mental health concerns. We believe sport is very powerful in addressing a wide range of developmental areas for children, teenagers and adults. By complimenting what we do with the Allied Health professionals in your support network, Inclusive Sports Coaching adds a practical component to therapy by focusing on fine and gross motor skill development, cognitive processing, skills development and acquisition, while also teaching clients about social skills such as communication, teamwork and constructive feedback.
This can be done utilising your NDIS Plan and funding if you are Plan Managed or Self-Managed.

With focused and specialised coaching, people gain the confidence and improve their self esteem to better enable them to interact with others, join or remain in a sporting or community club environment and contribute effectively to that environment, improve behaviour at school due to improved listening skills, and a range of other benefits.
These Clubs have engaged Inclusive Sports Coaching to conduct our Coaching Athletes with a Disability Workshop. A great demonstration of their Inclusive culture.

Services
Inclusive Sports Coaching provides 1:1 Programs for individuals looking to develop their sporting skills, as well as improve their self confidence and opportunities for social and community inclusion.
We recommend a 12 Session program to identify areas for improvement and sporting skills, conduct drills and physical activities to work towards specific outcomes, while engaging with the client in areas such as listening, memory retention, cognitive processing, social interaction, encouraging conversations, accepting and giving constructive feedback, and other areas as needed.
Schools and Councils Programs
Inclusive Sports Coaching is also running Programs for small groups at Schools and in partnership with Local Councils.
Using sport and physical activity as a vehicle, we work with small groups of students to help them develop techniques and methods to manage their emotions, understand how their brains interpret challenging situations, and ways to focus their thoughts to react appropriately rather than be emotionally driven.
Performance Under Pressure Coaching
John has gained significant experience in Mental strength coaching over the years, and has devised a series of Workshops.
These concepts apply across all sports, we'll help you learn how the brain works (or doesn't work at times!) to help you make the best decisions at the right time.
