This course is the ultimate coaching blueprint for future basketball and tennis coaches—new to coaching or wanting to update your style with new, actionable information. Created by a university student of Sports and Exercise Science with years of on-the-ground coaching experience, this course combines theoretical foundations with real-world application to provide you with the ability to become an assured, adaptable coach.

I've had success coaching basketball and tennis to all levels, including taking teams to two All-Ireland finals as a head coach at just 21 years old. This course takes those experiences and provides you with what actually works in practice sessions, matches, and one-on-one player development.

What you'll learn:

1)Fundamentals of basketball and tennis coaching, ranging from recreational to competitive levels

2)How to instruct fundamental technical skills (e.g., batting technique, stroke form, movement pattern)

3)Tactical awareness: strategies of basketball teams and point construction in tennis

4)Good communication, feedback, and motivational techniques

5)Planning sessions, progressions, and modifying drills for various ages and abilities

Principles of physical conditioning and injury prevention for sport You'll receive practical methods and tips to deliver engaging, interactive sessions that are just as effective for performance as for fun. No matter if you are coaching at school, club, or community level, this course will give you the knowledge and confidence to have a lasting, positive influence on your players.

Informations supplémentaires

This is a sit-down, off-court online session focused on coaching theory, tactical analysis, skill development strategies, and player management. No physical activity is required during the session.

Please ensure you have a quiet space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a working camera and microphone. Having a notebook or digital document ready for taking notes is recommended.

These sessions are interactive and discussion-based, covering everything from effective session planning and communication techniques to tactical breakdowns and sport-specific coaching insights.

If you're interested in a practical, on-court session (in person or live online), I may be able to offer this by request — just get in touch and we’ll see what’s possible.

Feel free to let me know in advance if you have specific goals, coaching challenges, or areas you'd like to explore, so I can tailor the session to your needs.

Présentation

Hi! I’m Josh — a dedicated, enthusiastic sports coach with a strong background in both basketball and tennis, and a deep passion for helping others learn and grow in sport. I’m currently studying Sports and Exercise Science at university, and I’ve been coaching for several years across youth, school, and club levels.

By the age of 21, I had already led teams to two All-Ireland basketball finals as a head coach, and I continue to develop my knowledge both on and off the court. My coaching style is approachable, supportive, and built on clear communication. I always aim to create a positive learning environment where students feel confident asking questions, exploring new ideas, and building their own coaching or playing toolkit.

Whether you’re a new coach, a player wanting to better understand the game, or someone preparing for coaching qualifications, I tailor each session to suit your level and goals. My tutoring is not just about passing on knowledge — it's about helping you think like a coach, develop your confidence, and gain practical tools you can use in real-life sessions.

I love working with curious, motivated students who want to improve — whether that’s by breaking down tactics, designing drills, or learning how to build strong team culture. My sessions are friendly, insightful, and always rooted in real coaching experience.

If you’re ready to level up your coaching or deepen your understanding of sport, I’d love to work with you!

This requires intense work, done regularly and assiduously. We will work so that you become the best version of yourself.

With my medical knowledge skills I took many classes for communication, paraphrasing, active listing etc. The psychology, body knowledge and how the brain works (neurology) has all been thought to me during my medical training. I would like to put my skills out there that I have obtained together with my sports’ and nutrition qualification to help other people acheive their goals and their potential. People struggling with weight, to do lists, procrastination, bringing an idea out there or developing their business plan can contact me. I will be doing extra certifications in order to obtain more experience on top of what I have. This is why my prices are adapted for people that want to help me get further experienced in coaching.

Coach sportif spécialisé dans la transformation physique des 30 à 60 ans, j’accompagne celles et ceux qui souhaitent perdre du gras, retrouver de l’énergie et construire un physique athlétique durable, sans régime extrême ni cardio interminable.

Ancien boxeur et entrepreneur, j’ai moi-même traversé un accident grave qui m’a obligé à reconstruire mon corps à plusieurs reprises. Cette expérience m’a appris une chose essentielle : la progression doit être structurée, intelligente et adaptée à la réalité de chacun.

Aujourd’hui, j’accompagne mes clients au quotidien avec méthode, exigence et pragmatisme pour des résultats concrets et durables.

Ce que j’apporte à mes coachés :

• Une stratégie claire et personnalisée, adaptée à leur emploi du temps et à leurs contraintes
• Un plan d’entraînement efficace, orienté perte de gras et recomposition corporelle
• Un cadre structuré qui favorise la discipline et la régularité
• Un accompagnement motivant mais exigeant
• Une approche réaliste, sans frustration inutile

Mon objectif n’est pas seulement de faire perdre du poids, mais d’aider mes clients à reprendre le contrôle de leur corps et de leur hygiène de vie.

I offer gentle, dynamic or hybrid yoga classes, online, at home or in a location agreed upon together, according to your preferences and objectives.

The sessions can focus on relaxation, recovery, and calming, or conversely, on mobility, tone, stability, and energy. I teach both Yin and Yang practices, as well as formats that blend the two in a single session to offer a more complete and balanced experience.

I also incorporate breathing exercises and, where appropriate, elements of meditation, in order to work on the body, breath, and quality of presence in a single class. My approach remains clear, progressive, and accessible, regardless of your level.

Each session is tailored to your body type, experience, current fitness level, and goals. I can offer gentler or more challenging variations, without performance pressure, with the aim of building a beneficial, sustainable, and realistic practice.

The courses can be general or geared towards a particular need: stress management, mobility, recovery, refocusing, getting back into motion, better body awareness or simply the need to take quality time for oneself.
