Aboriginal Coaches Module

Aboriginal Coaching Modules (ACM)

To educate Indigenous people about the value of and to encourage their participation in the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP), the ASC embarked on a multi-year consultative process to develop training material for Indigenous coaches.
The result of this process was the launch of the Aboriginal Coaching Modules (ACM) in 2003. The ACM responded directly to the identified need for a national coach training curriculum that reflects the uniqueness of Indigenous culture, values and lifestyles. Originally designed for coaches of First Nation, Métis and Inuit heritage, the program has been expanded to include non-Indigenous coaches working within Indigenous communities and with Indigenous people.
Designed to complement the NCCP certification process, the ACM is a professional development training tool for all coaches who coach Indigenous athletes.

Modules Include:

Module 1: Holistic Approach to Coaching
Module 2: Dealing with Racism in Sport
Module 3: Individual and Community Health and Wellness
