Erasmus+ and the Benefits for Sports Coaches

Sport has the power to bring people together, build confidence and create opportunities for young people.

International Development for Sports Coaches

For sports coaches, Erasmus+ can provide access to international coaching environments, new methodologies and professional networks.

Coaches can explore:

  • Different coaching philosophies
  • Athlete development
  • Inclusive sport
  • Youth engagement through sport
  • Mental wellbeing
  • Leadership
  • Team development
  • Safeguarding and positive sporting environments
  • Using sport to support social inclusion

Bringing New Approaches Home

International mobility can also give coaches the opportunity to observe how different countries develop young athletes and deliver community sport.

These experiences can inspire new approaches that coaches can take back to their own clubs, schools and communities.

The result is professional development that has a direct impact on the young people they coach.
