WELCOME TO MARKHAM As Chair of the Li-Ning BWF World Junior Cham- pionships 2018, I am most honored to welcome Coaches from around the world as each of you gather here in Markham at the 2018 BWF Coaching Conference.
This conference has been planned with the needs of all Coaches attending. There will be a focus on domestic and international coaching technical development, talent identification and development and on-court training and observation of top BWF Coaches.
Badminton continues to have more countries participating each year at the Grass Roots and High Performance Level. This is essential for the future growth of this sport at all levels. Coaches have the opportunity to teach, influence and inspire our young athletes. We must all continue this learning journey and collaborate in this learning and leading.
Many thanks to the Local Organizing Committee and BWF in putting together a fantastic integrated Coaching Conference. To all the Coaches, take the time to network with as many coaches, players and badminton officials while you are at the conference. Be responsible and accountable for your learning that will help you continue to grow as a Coach.

BADMINTON CANADA PRESIDENT On behalf of Badminton Canada, I would like to take this time to welcome you to the 2018 BWF Coaching Conference.
As a former player, I know I could not have achieved my goals without great coaches supporting me throughout my career. A coach should be a teacher, a mentor, a counselor and a protector of a player’s health and integrity. Conferences like these do not happen without great effort. I would like to thank Badminton Ontario for their efforts in hosting and to Badminton World Federation, for the honour.
We hope that you enjoy the sessions at the 2018 BWF Coaching Conference and that the information will provide you with the tools and skills to become a better coach! Anil Kaul Anil Kaul, President - Badminton Canada

THE BWF COACHING PATHWAY Supporting coaches in taking players from grassroots to podium. WHY A COACHING PATHWAY?
Coaches are the key in taking players from grassroots to podium. In order to grow the sport, we need more and better coaches at all levels.
Coaches need different skills and knowledge at different levels of player development. The BWF Coach Education framework aims to address those needs.
At the same time, in order for coaches to be effective, they must also be able to work within national or regional structures.
The coaching pathway looks beyond coaches’ on-court work to examine how this fit into the larger perspective of player development within a national system, thereby helping coaches and players achieve the best possible results.
