What you'll learn:

2)How to instruct fundamental technical skills (e.g., batting technique, stroke form, movement pattern)

3)Tactical awareness: strategies of basketball teams and point construction in tennis

4)Good communication, feedback, and motivational techniques

5)Planning sessions, progressions, and modifying drills for various ages and abilities

Principles of physical conditioning and injury prevention for sport You'll receive practical methods and tips to deliver engaging, interactive sessions that are just as effective for performance as for fun. No matter if you are coaching at school, club, or community level, this course will give you the knowledge and confidence to have a lasting, positive influence on your players.

Extra information

This is a sit-down, off-court online session focused on coaching theory, tactical analysis, skill development strategies, and player management. No physical activity is required during the session.

Please ensure you have a quiet space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a working camera and microphone. Having a notebook or digital document ready for taking notes is recommended.

These sessions are interactive and discussion-based, covering everything from effective session planning and communication techniques to tactical breakdowns and sport-specific coaching insights.

If you're interested in a practical, on-court session (in person or live online), I may be able to offer this by request — just get in touch and we’ll see what’s possible.

Feel free to let me know in advance if you have specific goals, coaching challenges, or areas you'd like to explore, so I can tailor the session to your needs.

About Me

Hi! I’m Josh — a dedicated, enthusiastic sports coach with a strong background in both basketball and tennis, and a deep passion for helping others learn and grow in sport. I’m currently studying Sports and Exercise Science at university, and I’ve been coaching for several years across youth, school, and club levels.

By the age of 21, I had already led teams to two All-Ireland basketball finals as a head coach, and I continue to develop my knowledge both on and off the court. My coaching style is approachable, supportive, and built on clear communication. I always aim to create a positive learning environment where students feel confident asking questions, exploring new ideas, and building their own coaching or playing toolkit.

Whether you’re a new coach, a player wanting to better understand the game, or someone preparing for coaching qualifications, I tailor each session to suit your level and goals. My tutoring is not just about passing on knowledge — it's about helping you think like a coach, develop your confidence, and gain practical tools you can use in real-life sessions.

I love working with curious, motivated students who want to improve — whether that’s by breaking down tactics, designing drills, or learning how to build strong team culture. My sessions are friendly, insightful, and always rooted in real coaching experience.

If you’re ready to level up your coaching or deepen your understanding of sport, I’d love to work with you!

Are you ready to discover new, extraordinary experiences during a PILATES training based on an intensive two-year training in Switzerland and the USA (matwork, machines, in-depth anatomy) with one of the assistants of the founder Joseph Pilates?

-You want to lose weight, live healthier, get fit again and are looking for more regular, light but intense physical exercise, but it is very difficult to find the motivation and keep it up.
-You would like to exercise more regularly, but have an irregular daily routine, which makes it difficult to find exercise classes?
-Have you undergone surgery or suffered an injury, sprain, etc. and are looking for personalised fitness training?
-Have you lost your usual training rhythm since Covid and are finding it difficult to get back into it?

The lessons take place online. I tailor my courses to the needs and desires of my students.

Why is pelvic mobility important?
🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point.
The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐
✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc.
📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs.
🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅
The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation.
Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰
