Coach first year student

What are you going to do?

As a coach, you give a coach child the extra support and guidance that he or she does not receive or receives insufficiently at home. The emphasis of the coaching is on the social-emotional level: dealing with others and with the feelings, doubts and insecurities of the coached child. But the tasks certainly also include providing practical study guidance: structuring and planning homework. You support the coach child in matters that he or she considers important, you encourage sports and exercise and you involve the parent(s)/guardian(s) in schoolwork and the school. If desired, you can accompany them to parents' evenings.

Assumptions

• Because we think it is important that a coach child does not have to change coach during a school year, you commit yourself to Coach4you for the total duration of one coaching process of a maximum of 18 months, barring unforeseen circumstances.
• We believe that good guidance and training of our coaches is important. When you start coaching, you participate in the one-day national coaching training that we offer. This training is compulsory, as is your participation in the (intervision) meetings (once every six weeks) and theme evenings (twice a year). Learn more about workouts.
