Dear Coach Community,

Winter is off to a great start. 

This Snow Australia coaching update covers planning for upcoming Foundation Coach Workshops, an AIS coach education opportunity, and highlights the latest resources available for coaches.

If you have any coaching stories or information that you would like to see included in future editions of this Coach eNews, please email coaching@snow.org.au 

Planning is underway for coach workshops as part of the Foundation Coach Accreditation program. Workshops are in the pipeline for Thredbo, Perisher, Falls Creek, Hotham, and Mt Buller this season. Keep an eye out for workshop information from your resort.

The ASPIRE Coach Program is a 3-day initiative designed to support the development of women coaches who aspire to enter and thrive in the High Performance coaching landscape.

The Program will focus on developing the knowledge and competencies of Australia’s early-career women coaches.

Program Dates: 13 - 15 October 2025 

Where: Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra

The program has been co-designed by women coaches and will be delivered by a leadership team of women coaches. Every applicant who is eligible to apply will become part of the talent pool of women coaches at the bottom of the Leaky Pipeline, so if in doubt, we encourage you to apply!

Applications are open now and close August 4. 

The Australian Sports Commission Coaching Podcast returns with a brand-new season, featuring nine weekly episodes released every Wednesday.
