I got an email yesterday off the MLTUK (Mountain Leader Training UK) top man Steve Long asking if they could use an article i wrote a while back for this blog on Coaching the New Buzz Word, but what does it mean? They had re-edited slightly to remove reference to navigation and other non-climbing sports (England and Wales run by the BMC decided not to look down these pathways). Ironically Scotland and Ireland decided to follow all avenues in all sports, so it looks like if you what to become a navigation coach you’ll have to do a course in Scotland or Ireland.
Anyway I was quite touched that the MLTUK should use my work to help publicise the new future of coaching in rock climbing and mountaineering. Anyway the link to the edited article is here if you want to read something more officially sanctioned by the MLTUK.
