There is a handy practical booklet for trainers, coaches, and team supervisors: “4 Insights into Trainership”. In this colorful booklet, the four important core qualities of trainer-coaches are identified, explained, and illustrated with practical tips:
- Structuring: You make agreements and provide clarity and structure. This way, everyone knows what is expected of them;
- Encouraging: You inspire, encourage, compliment, and emphasize what is going well. Making mistakes is actually good, because you learn from them;
- Giving individual attention: You ensure that every child feels seen and appreciated. Moreover, you try to tailor your instructions to the level of each child;
- Transferring control: You ask questions, you listen to the children, and you try to make them responsible for their own learning process step by step.
