Case Studies

Case Study 1: Lessons
from the Dojo – 25 Years of
Workforce Development
Speakers: Joyce Heron and Colin McIver (British Judo)
British Judo recognises the importance, impact and benefit of
coach development. Investing in our coaches is strongly linked
to maintaining and raising technical standards through a flexible
approach that gives coaches autonomy over their learning while
at the same time providing CPD support linked to club and
judo player needs.
