The programme architecture, scheduling, and intervention strategies are predicated on a belief that practitioners' learning and development may be accelerated by frequent and varied opportunities to put ideas to work, access to timely feedback that can be used, and the introduction of supporting concepts and ideas when they are needed most. SCiHPS is designed around a work-related, integrated curriculum: the programme components integrate with each other, and the hands-on work of the coach development practitioner: the 'day-to-day' is learning and development when integrated in this way. The programme in its entirety ensures the practice of coaching and coach development remains the competitive advantage for the High-Performance System. The vision of the Supporting Coaching in High-Performance Sport (SCiHPS) programme is to develop coach-development practitioners with the knowledge, skills, and experience to support World Class Coaching beyond the 2026 Milan-Cortina and LA 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. To deliver on this vison, SCiHPS aims to: • create stimulating learning environments in which Coach Developers are exposed to a wide variety of high-performance coaching situations and contexts; • accelerate the accrual of relevant field experiences; • support the development of practical skills that have a direct effect on coaches' daily environments; • co-create an effective coach development community to support those who are in - or are aspiring to - a full time Coach Developer role; • align with professional standards and offer Coach Developers a route to Higher qualifications1 and Chartered Status 1.
