scottishathletics are delighted to announce that MSP Alison Johnstone and sportscotland Institute of sport coach Sean Tough will be delivering a seminar and a practical session respectively at the forthcoming coaching conference over the weekend of 20/21 September at the Emirates Arena, Glasgow.
Alison is currently a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Lothian representing the Green Party, and previously a City of Edinburgh Councillor, Alison is closely involved with sporting issues and is Co-Convenor of the Cross Party Group on Sport among other related interests.
With a competitive athletics pedigree as a middle distance athlete, Alison is now involved in coaching as a member of Edinburgh AC, and has been involved directly with Women in Coaching activities and leadership within athletics, which will be one of the key seminars during the conference over the weekend.
sportscotland Strength and Conditioning Coach Sean Tough will be supported by scottishathletics Ian Mirfin and Triple European Champion Sammi Kinghorn at the annual coaching conference when they deliver a workshop on strength and conditioning for the para-athlete. The workshop will discuss the implementation of a conditioning programme, led by the coach and will be presentation based, involving practical demonstration.
These sessions will attract coaches working in a club with developing athletes through to event specialist coaches.
