Tournament Tips Webinar
In June we had amazing opportunity for people to get some top tips from our panel of experts. There were four sessions held with umpire Zak Middleton, manager Katheryn Stonehouse, coaches Rob Wright and Tia Winikerei and netball smart Suzie Belcher.
Participants had time for Q&A. It was a great lead up to tournament season.
We had 40 participants take part.
The Centre Connect Series brings together all Centres across the Zone to collectively address priorities identified by Centres and create a platform for knowledge sharing and Centre to Centre connection.
This series is interactive, sharing best practice, brainstorming ideas and innovations and builds on Centre connections, experience and knowledge of Centre personnel alongside regional/national, cross code insights and Zone knowledge.
Here you will find some useful resources gathered on topics addressed and summaries of the Connect Series learnings and discussions.
Wellbeing and Resilience Session 28th Feb/1st March
Thanks to Sharon Adams from Sport Northland who delivered the session on wellbeing and to Michaela Sokolich-Beatson who shared her journey over the years with us to enable us to relate how centres can make a difference in everyone’s wellbeing.
The session shared an understanding of the basic concept of wellbeing/hauroa and the role of individuals, leaders and organisations in creating an environment that supports wellbeing for all. We now have an understanding of the SCARF model and how it affects wellbeing. We applied the SCARF model to our own environment and identified possible mitigations.
The purpose of our session was to share some practical tips that people can use to support their own wellbeing and to that of others. It gave us a chance to discuss challenges and approaches.
Supporting the wellbeing and resilience of your people is an important part of any leading an organisation, workplace, club and community. To do this effectively you also need to prioritise your own mental wellbeing.
