Hannah’s Story
Coaching Systems
Manager for Archery GB,
Hannah Bussey, is current
Chair of the Group. She
joined because whilst
she felt ‘Archery GB was
making a lot of progress
in understanding the
factors and mechanisms
involved in creating
successful coaching
systems, reporting impact
still remained a challenge’.
“
Credible insight
is crucial to
ensure we’re
designing these
programmes
and systems as
effectively as
possible.”
“This seemed to be
common among many
organisations. Yet, being
able to clearly and
accurately report what’s
going on in the coaching
landscape is important
to both individual
organisations and
collectively, particularly
if we are to meet the
increasing challenge
presented by government
policies, which are
becoming more focused
on health, and illness
prevention.
“Given that coaching
provision is dynamic and
involves many people,
there are many variables
to consider for the system
or programmes that
sit behind it. Credible
insight is crucial to ensure
we’re designing these
programmes and systems
as effectively as possible.
By coming together to
understand this, we
took deliberate steps
towards becoming better
at providing open and
honest evaluations and
reports.”
Coaching Systems Manager
for Archery GB, Hannah
Bussey
Over the next 12
months, Hannah
will lead the Group
in narrowing the
gap between sports
development
and academia, as
well as helping
partners become
better at designing
effective coaching
programmes and
reporting outcomes
with clarity and
credibility.
