I have just put a post up over on my coaching blog, I seem to spend too much time blogging about life at the moment, however when I eventually finish my thesis, the Slate guide and the how to climb harder book I hope to concentrate on both a bit more. Especially now that the BMC has finally recognised and endorsed the setting up of a parallel system of coaching awards.
It has been a long hard path that took over three years to get to a decision, however at the last National Council meeting all objections were noted and most seemed to have been overridden. The future is here, well not here but definitely on its way, it might seem like a dot on the horizon, but at least they can see land.
There was a good article by Martin Chester in Summit that I picked up today, along with a few more of my pictures on Mountain Rescue, that accompany another Ed Douglas article on the future of Mountain Rescue. Anyway I have to get back to number crunching and all that. Hope you enjoy the coaching article, it is mainly the links that take you to the really detail of the training body and mind.
