RE: Level 1 coach
Hey Gamma, Congrats.... the course is demanding especially when you have wife and kids. Sparing the six days to do itwas a challenge for me. I only just completed the course myself (Sunday gone was the exam day) and having done the D licence for Football some time back I have to agree with your observation regarding the relative merits of the two. I 'm not sure where the FA ranks with the "D" but suffice to say this WICB course is right up there.
In fact the facilitator of our course shared some emails with us from the ECB which concluded that the WICB Level I was superior to theirs.
Twenty of us affiiliated with the club (The Harvard Club in POS) where I coach did the course. Four did not achieve the passing grade, due in great part to lack of preparation o their part if not mental physical. Surprisingly I managed to top this group after ... howoever the marks are beside the point, it really is how we apply what we've learnt that will really tell the tale of how successful we are.
Whoever at the WICB developed the course deserves a great deal of credit for having done their homework. I get the impression that a lot of what the Aussies do was modeled. And interestingly, they studied footage of WI greats when they began developing their programmes.
If only local Football and the CBU would get their act together to get local coaches on the same page with a dynamic programme like this one.
Good luck in your coaching endeavours. BTW Who was your facilitator? We had a very knowledgeable guy by the name of Kumar Rampat.
