| IG WELCOMES NEW COACHING DEVELOPMENT MANAGER - SALLY FILMER |
|
|
Sally has been involved in gymnastics for many years, having coached and tutored in many disciplines at all levels within the British Gymnastics system. A former gymnast herself reaching national level, once Sally had retired she embarked on a career path in coaching and coach education/development which started with an extended educational trip to Stravpol in Russia to further her gymnastics knowledge and expertise. It was during this trip that Sally elected to focus her coaching efforts on the Tumbling discipline – efforts that led to a successful partnership between herself & GB’s top female tumbler Samantha Palmer. Under the guidance of Sally, Samantha has achieved some remarkable results – the most striking achievements being crowned the 2006 European Senior Champion & World Cup Champion.
In recent years as her success as a coach became evident Sally turned her skills to coach education & development working with many coaches, clubs and gymnasts in England, Ireland and Jersey. Here she has gained a reputation for providing a very thorough approach to coach development focused on supported long term learning.
Sally has been heavily involved with British Gymnastics in the development of their new ‘Cycle 6’ coaching syllabi. This is a joint process between BG & the United Kingdom Coaching Certification authority (UKCC) – a system that mirrors the relationship between Irish Gymnastics & the NCTC. Through this experience Sally already has a good understanding of the task ahead and is looking forward to jumping into her new role as CDM.
