Aboriginal Coaching Modules Revised

June 24, 2023

he professional development of Indigenous coaches through NCCP certification has been identified by the Aboriginal Sport Circle (ASC) as a national priority. In order to educate and promote the value of the NCCP and to establish meaningful participation of Indigenous peoples in this national program, the ASC embarked on a multi-year process to develop supplemental training material for Indigenous coaches taking NCCP workshops. The result of this process is the Aboriginal Coaching Modules (ACM), which responds to the need for a national training curriculum with content that reflects the uniqueness of Indigenous cultures, values, and lifestyles.

The ACM is a professional development training tool for Indigenous and non-Indigenous coaches who coach Indigenous athletes, as they become certified through the NCCP. The material in the ACM has been developed to meet the following learning objectives:

• Understanding the role of sport in Indigenous communities;
• Understanding and positively influencing the community in which you coach;
• Coaching the whole person; coaching beyond the physical to include the mental (intellectual and emotional), spiritual and cultural;
• Responding to racism in sport;
• Establishing a code of behaviour for your team that respects differences and addresses racism;
• Helping those you coach make healthy lifestyle choices.
