Introduction to Coaching/Certification
NCCP
Competition Coach Specialists – Jumping focus on improving athlete skills for Hunter/Jumper competitors. The equestrians coached by Competition Coach Specialists generally work in one specific discipline with access to horses matching their skill level, competing on a regular basis at provincial, territorial, and regional levels (1.0m to 1.20m at EC Silver or Gold shows).
Competition Coach Specialists work with these equestrians to increase performance accuracy and develop the physical and mental skills needed as athletes refine their ultimate goals in equestrian sport.
This training pathway will help prepare you for your Competition Coach Specialist – Jumping evaluation for Certification.
