Scottish Cycling is working with sportscotland to deliver Positive Coaching Scotland workshops (PCS) for cycling.

Sportscotland work in partnership with the Winning Scotland Foundation on the workshops.

PCS is a programme designed to provide a positive sporting environment for young people.  It focuses on using sport to help and support children’s learning and the development of their life skills. PCS helps teach them to:

• Appreciate the value of effort and learning
• Improve their personal performance
• Foster a competitive, but fair, sporting mentality
• Deal positively with mistakes

It is designed to transform attitudes and behaviours and support those involved in sport to create and maintain a positive sporting environment for all.  Through this positive environment, young people are encouraged to stay in sport longer.

PCS offers a visionary approach—a practical alternative to the ‘win at all costs’ mentality and a timely response to the challenges facing youth sport. It provides the tools and framework for a positive sporting experience that can also be character-building.

The Benefits of PCS include:

• Confident coaches
• Winning teams & Clubs                                                                                   
• Increased membership
• Better retention of members
• A better place to play and train

The next workshop will be on the 14th February from 1230 to 1530 at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow, sign up here.
