Coaching concepts

Coaching marching is for anyone who enjoys marching and genuinely cares about the overall development of the marchers in their care. Coaching is not just about improving a marcher's physical performance, it is about the development of them as a ‘whole’ person. The physical skills marchers learn may only be used for a few years, but the attitudes and values they develop towards themselves and others will last for a lifetime.
