Implementation Principles
The principles that will be used when implementing the strategy's game plans are used every day by coaches.
Ownership
The world-class coaching environment can only be given life by coaches who accept responsibility for owning, creating, maintaining and improving the environment in which they work.
Simplicity
All the key players in sport are under constant pressure. The reality of New Zealand's sporting environment is that, typically, there is too much to do and too little time to do it. With this in mind, all outcomes resulting from this strategy will be simple in their design and easy to administer and maintain.
Holistic
The world-class coaching environment will focus on the whole person - not just coaching components. Anything other than a holistic approach will lead to issues with coach retention, recruitment and development.
Outcome focused
All coaching activities must make a positive contribution to achieving the objectives of this strategy.
Continuous improvement
Coaches have an inherent thirst for knowledge. They look beyond the results to ensure that tomorrow's performance is better than today's. Every coaching situation is a learning opportunity.
Partnership
Coaches, alone, do not have all the answers. Implementing the strategy's game plans will require an integrated team approach. The game plans use focussed groups comprising key players in coaching, who will leverage off each others' knowledge and experience.
All those involved in coaching will understand their role and how they are contributing to achieving the objectives of this strategy.
