Coach Development
Weekend
Two days to find out whether coaching suits you, and to take the first real steps in your coaching skills.
Not just knowledge.
Mostly discovery.
This weekend is not about knowledge alone. It is about discovering what coaching really means, which qualities you bring and whether you can see people, take them along and make them better.
No test, no exam, just an honest first experience of coaching the CrossFit Leiden way. Please note: the weekend is taught in Dutch.
Who is this weekend for?
You want to improve your coaching skills
You are interested in the coaching vision of CrossFit Leiden
You are potentially interested in becoming a coach
A possible next step is an internship or a coach education track at CrossFit Leiden, but that is not the starting point. You join this weekend to discover and experience.

What we
cover
The weekend is deliberately not a full CrossFit course. Movement knowledge is something you can develop further later on.
- Who you are as a coach and why you want to coach
- What good coaching means at CrossFit Leiden
- The difference between instructing, coaching, guiding and correcting
- Reading and building a CrossFit class: warm-up, skill, preparation, WOD and cool-down
- Movement teaching, scaling, safety and dealing with different types of participants
- 1-on-1 coaching and group coaching
- Leading a warm-up, skill and short workout yourself
- Giving and receiving feedback and reflecting on your own strengths and areas to develop
Can you see people, take them along, inspire them and make them better?
After the weekend
At the end of the weekend you get personal feedback: what your strengths are and where you can develop further as a coach.
Together we look at whether and how a follow-up track at CrossFit Leiden could look, but that is not the main goal of the weekend. It is mostly about your first experience of coaching the CrossFit Leiden way and whether it suits you.
