Pour 3 points
The training programmes and activities developed by Pour 3 points (P3P) aim to go beyond the teaching of specific techniques and tactics, and are based on the belief that supporting the development of young people’s potential involves the coach’s development in all its dimensions. However, only 5-10% of coaches are trained to play their role properly.
Pour 3 Points has a multiplier effect: coaches become agents of change in the sports community and in the education sector. The young people who take part in the programme are themselves exerting a positive influence in their environment. Research conducted by McGill University’s sports psychology laboratory has shown that young people accompanied by P3P-certified coaches demonstrate an increase in autonomy, communication skills, motivation and perseverance.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit coaches, which is jeopardising the continuation of sporting activities in certain environments, particularly schools. With this in mind, Pour 3 points has launched a new programme for beginner coaches. The aim is to get them off to a solid start, with the support of the community of certified coaches.
