Following a successful inaugural run in 2012-13, the Basketball Queensland Advanced Coach Development Program has this year seen an increase in applications and successful applications. The program forms a key part of Basketball Australia’s national coach performance pathway, seeing coaches commit to two years of mentoring and development programs in the aim of becoming potential Queensland state team and national level coaches. The program focuses on providing Queensland coaches with a two-year Gold Coast C i t y Regional Basketball Association Issue 45 March 2014 development opportunity to extend and refine their skills, improve their knowledge, develop leadership skills and create experiences to deliver results consistently within high performance sport. Participants within the Advanced Coaches Development program will be exposed to specialists from the worlds of business, academics, sports and coaching to assist in their development and initiate thought, and encourage them to seek out mentors and link with coaches at elite levels to further their development. The coaches who complete the program will have an improved understanding of the dynamics of high performance coaching and increased competency levels through experience, networking and mentoring opportunities. Part of the program involves two residential workshops a year, in July and September, where coaches take part in intensive workshop sessions and network with other coaches. With many coaches based regionally, the program provides an opportunity for coaches to meet with their peers and discuss ideas and philosophies, and ultimately pass on their knowledge and experiences to their local associations. The program culminates in a study tour of the United States, with the group visiting basketball colleges and professional teams, the first of these tours in November 2013 receiving high praise for its content and networking opportunities with elite coaches in the USA. 2014-15 Advanced Coach Development Program Inductees.
