ATTACHMENTS 3: DESCRIPTION OF THE SPEAKERS

/SPEAKERS TEMA/SUBJECTS Lise Kissmeyer,

Journalist, forfatter og foredragsholder i Danmark

Jakten på gleden Alle er enig at det å oppleve glede ved idrettsutøvelsen er viktig. Men hvordan er det der ute? Hvordan gir vi barn og ungdom mulighet for å oppleve masse moro og glede? Forelesningen vil identifisere fire forskjellige typer av glede i idretten og se på hvordan forskning på talenter og eliteutøvere i Danmark kan hjelpe oss med å forstå hvordan vi kan stimulere gleden best mulig. Dette ender opp i et sentralt spørsmål: Hva er viktigst – livskvalitet eller medaljer? Kan vi ha begge deler?

The search for enjoyment Everyone can agree that enjoyment is important. It has to be a lot of fun to do sports! - But how is reality out there? How are we giving the kids the best opportunities to ’win a lot of enjoyment and good times’? The lecture identifies four different types of enjoyments in sport and look into how research among young talents and elite athletes in Denmark can help us to understand how we can stimulate the enjoyments in the best way? This will lead to the central question: What is most important - life quality or medals? Can we have both?

Søren Østergaard,

Leder av senter for ungdomsstudier, Danmark

Aktiviteter tiltrekker, relasjoner fastholder – kanskje! I ”gamle dager” drev man med idrett for å være sammen med sine venner – i dag blir vennskap vedlikeholdt i det virtuelle rom og man går primært idrett for at bevege seg og lære noe nytt! Det betyr at de nye idrettsutøverne vokser opp som forbrukere og bruker parametre som kvalitet, seriøsitet og progresjon i forhold til at vurdere om en aktivitet er attraktiv - samtidig med at idrett selvfølgelig også skal være gøy! Det er mange ting som skal være ”i orden” og hvordan forbereder vi barne- og ungdomstrenere på å håndtere fremtidens krevende idrettsutøvere samtidig med at vi også utfordrer dem og deres forbrukerorienterte tilgang til idrett? Activities attract young people – relationships make them stay – maybe! In the “god old days” young people attended leisure-time activities because they want to hang out with their friends – today’s young people primarily maintain their relationship through different virtual arenas and the time you spend face to face with your friends are rapidly decreasing! The future athletes has been raised as consumers and it’s no longer that important that their friends attend a certain activity, because they choose new activities based on criteria as quality, seriousity, progression and of course whether it’s fun or not! There is a lot of criteria that has to be “in perfect order” and how do we both equip and prepare children and youth coaches for meeting these demanding athletes – and at they same time challenge young peoples quite consumeristic approach to sport?

Christoph Treier,

Mental trener og coach, Åland

Kroppsspråk for trenere og ledere Når man trener og leder barn och ungdom er det ikke bare viktigt hva man kommuniserer med dem, men også hvordan man kommuniserer, dvs hvordan man sier noe og hvilke signaler man gir med sitt kroppsspråk. Arbeider man med barn er det nesten et krav om å ha kunnskaper om kroppsspråket. Kroppsspråket er en nøkkelfaktor for å kunne undervise, trene og leda barn og ungdom. Body language for coaches, trainers and sport officials When coaching and leading children and teenagers it is not only what you communicate but how you communicate that is important, i e how you say certain things and what signals you send with your body language. When working with children, knowledge of how body language works is a key factor in order to successfully teach, train and lead young

Mestring og motivasjonskvalitet: Grunnlaget for idrettsengasjement blant barn og unge. Et autonomistøttende motivasjonsklima og et klima som stimulerer til mestring er viktig for barns og unges motivasjon, velvære og øvrige utbytte av å delta i idrett. Hvordan kan trenere utvikle et idrettsmiljø som stimulerer til mestring, medbestemmelse og sosial inkludering? Foredraget tar for seg ny forskning på dette området med eksempler på hvordan trenere i praksis kan jobber fram aktivitets- og helsefremmende idrettsmiljøer for barn og unge Mastery and supporting climate Developing a mastery – and autonomy supporting climate seems important for young peoples’ sport motivation, well-being and long term activity interest. How might coaches work to develop a sense of mastery, autonomy and social relatedness in sport? A look at current research and practical applications for coaches

Björn Pettersson,

Hockeykonsulent Svenske Ishockeyforbundet, f d elitetrener, forfatter, foreleser

Framgangsrikt ungdomslederskap Når du arbeider med barn og ungdom er det viktig å tenke over hvorfor du er der. Du er til for deres skyld og den grunnleggende målsetningen er at deltakerne skal ha det gøy og utvikles i sitt tempo. Bjørn tar i dette foredraget opp hvordan han arbeider for å skape glede i gruppen og ikke minst få barn og ungdom til å tenke selv. For barn og ungdom har en fantastisk evne til selv å løse ulike oppgaver. Se for eksempel på hvordan de veldig raskt og enkelt lærer seg ny teknologi sammenlignet med oss voksne. Og reflekter også over faktum at de fleste nyvinninger innen idrettens verden har aktivt bidratt med å utvikle idretten enda mer sånn som Jan Boklövs V-stil i skihopping, Bill Kochs skøyteteknikk i langrenn. ”Gi derfor barn og ungdom mulighet til og rom for kreativitet og glede så skjer det saker” , er Bjørns filosofi. Successful youth leadership When working with children and youths it is important to remember why you're standing next to the field. You are there for their sake and the basic objective is that children have fun and develop at their own pace. Björn takes in this lecture up how he works to create joy in the group and especially make young people self-reflect. For children and youth have an amazing ability to solve different tasks. See example of how they very quickly embrace new technology compared to us adults. And also reflect the fact that most innovations in the sport world has the active contribute to such as Jan Boklöv´s V-style in ski jumping and Bill Koch's skate technique in cross country skiing. If we will give children and youth the room for passion and creativity it will make things happen is Björn's philosophy.

Peter Eriksson

Hovedtrener i Holmen Tennisklubb.

Positiv coaching Dette er et foredrag med fokus på blant annet tennis, Fair Play, holdninger og kommunikasjon. Utgangspunktet til tennistrener Peter Eriksson, er et case med fokus på mestringsglede i Holmen Tennisklubb. Mange tennisspillere tenker for mye resultat og er redde for å gjøre feil. Dette kan gi prestasjonsangst og medføre at de "taper mot seg selv" både i kamp og under trening. Foredraget vil kun bli presentert på norsk/svensk Positive coaching The lecture has a focus around Tennis, Fair Play, attitude and communication. Peter Eriksson takes us through a case with focus at mastery climates in Holmen Tennisclub. A lot of tennisathletes have a huge focus at the result and become afraid to fail. This may result in performance anxiety and lead to loss, both at the excercise and in the competition/match. This lecture will be hold in Norwegian/Swedish

Kristin Evensen Gangås

Hovedtrener i langrenn i Stor Elvdal skiklubb.

”Vi har drept talentene!” Hva skjer når fokuset snur fra mestring til resultat? Er det mulig å dyrke talenter ut fra ren idrettsglede og mestringsfokus, eller skal vi fortsette å knekke talenter og utøvere gjennom et altfor ensidig resultatfokus? Tanker og erfaringer på hvordan resultatfokus overstyrer gleden og mestringen, med det resultat at altfor mange utøvere forsvinner ut av idretten i alt for ung alder. ”We have killed the talents!” What happens when we turn our focus from mastery to performance? Is it possible to get talented athletes out of pure enjoyment, focus on mastery and fun? In too many years the focus on results has exceeded the joy and mastery, which has led to a drop out of too many athletes from the sports in a too young age.

Mentoring Hva er mentoring og hvordan har Finland startet arbeidet med mentoring av sine trenere? Hva er målet med mentoring i de fisnke idrettslagene. Det finske idrettsforbundet vil gi oss noen få ulike tilnærminger og former for mentoring. I tillegg vil de prøve å gi deltakerne en oversikto over utfordringer og muligheter rundt mentoring. Mentoring What is mentoring and how does Finland practice mentoring among their coaches? What are the aims with mentoring in Finnish sport clubs? Young Finland presents a few different approaches and forms of activity to mentoring. We´ll also try to give the listeners an oversight of challenges and opportunities regarding mentoring.

Jukka Jalonen

Landslags-trener for det finske ishockeylaget

Å være trener er å støtte individet En trener er primært en som støtter idrettsutøveren. Treneren har best mulighet til å lykkes dersom han/hun kan behandle hvert medlem individuelt – treneren må lære hvordanman skal lytte og være i en god dialog med idrettsutøverne. Det å skape et positivt og motiverende miljø er en annen suksessfaktorved å være trener – det er viktig at de unge utøverne er fornøyd med å delta på treningen. Det betyr ikke at man ikke kan gjennoføre harde og krevende treningsøkter. Treneren må være aktiv og engasjert for å klare å skape et slikt miljø. I fremtiden må de psykologiske egenskapene hos treneren utvikles. Hvordan kan vi skape et godt miljø på treningen? Hvordan kan vi ta bedre vare på individet? Hvordan utvikler vi de mellommenskelige egenskapene hos trenerne? Coaching is to support the individual A coach is primarily someone who supports the athlete. The coach has the best chance to succeed well if he/she can consider each member of the group individually - it´s important for the coach to learn how to listen and to be in dialogue with the athletes. To create a positive and motivating atmosphere is another condition for a good and effective coaching - it´s important that the young athlete feels good about taking part in training. This doesn´t mean that the training cannot be hard and demanding. The coach needs to be active and devoted to be able to create such a climate. In the future training of young athletes the psychological skills of the coaches´ must be developed. How can we create a good atmosphere in training? How can we consider the individual better? How do we develop the interactional skills of the coaches?

ATTACHMENT 4: NETWORK SUMMARY

ICE HOCKEY FEDERATIONS

Participants: Denmark (3), Sweden (2), Finland (2), Åland (2), Norway (1)

Secretary: Lars Kruse, Denmark

General discussions of subjects (Trainer/coach)

Friday:

The Countries made a presentation of the ice hockey federation in their country. There were some questions to the presentations and the countries exchanged email addresses so they had the exact notes from each country. We spent most of our time on the presentations.

After the presentations we had a discussion about how is the relationship between the Nordic countries when we are talking general challenges education and knowledge.

Denmark and Norway were on the same level and had some of the same challenges. They needed more ice hockey halls to have more members and develop news clubs.

Denmark told that Sweden had helped them a lot about education.

Finland and Sweden told that their relationship is like brothers. They like each other, had a lot of respect of each other and they were always fighting about which country is the best.

Finland told that ice hockey is the biggest sport in Finland and for the moment they are world champion. They had just made a new ice hockey school for the youngest.

On Åland is ice hockey such a small sport but they had some help about education from both Finland and Sweden.

Saturday: Trainer /Coach/ Mentoring

Mentoring: Both Finland and Sweden had a kind of mentoring system. The countries were split into different areas, who had a consult from the ice hockey federation. The consults are helping the clubs about education and how to develop the clubs. The other countries did not have a kind of mentoring system.

The Coach/Trainer: Everybody in the ice hockey group like the subject from the speakers and agreed about the conclusions from the speakers. Everybody agreed how important it is to keep the joy in the game and the social life and the coach must learn to listen to the young players.

But everybody also agreed about that the Ice Hockey Federation in each country must find the “results winners “ and therefore it would had been interesting to have a speaker, who was talking more about a subject like “ You first find the joy when you win”

They were all impress of the coach from Finland, Jukka Jalonen, who had won the world champion and was one of the speakers Friday.

He had some good points about the coach role; How to talk to the players, the relation ship between coach and player and how important it is to be constructive and explain the player when he is doing something wrong and something excellent in the play.

Bjørn Petterson was an inspiration for all the countries. (They knew him in Sweden)

Sunday: Plans for the future (and Agreement-day)

Agreements between the countries:

• Norway would like to invite Bjørn Petterson to Norway • Denmark will still have a relation ship to Sweden about education • Sweden would like to have Jukka Jarlonen to visit Sweden (and made some notes –

and be nr. 1 again) • Everybody would keep in touch with Finland and learn more about the ice hockey

school/and general education. • Furthermore everybody agreed about following: it had been some great days and the

Federations will keep in touch and exchange knowledge. And it was the best Ice Hockey group ever.

BASKETBALL FEDERATIONS

Participants: Sweden (3), Denmark (3), Åland (3), Finland (2) and Norway (2)

Secretary: Tobias Karlsson

Here are themes and ways of working that the participating federations taking part in the conference thought could be useful to develop in cooperation with each other:

1. Everyone lists their own wishes for future cooperation and is in contact with the other federations

o E.g. educational aims and structures � Quality and variation of the education of the coaches´ of the young

2. That the way of playing (e.g. 4 vs 4 (e.g. easy basket)) would be the same in all

countries until the same age (e.g. 13 years). o Could this be a Nordic model of developing young players?

3. Guidelines for a good coach for children and young

o � educational aims and structures

4. NYBC – a group in facebook

5. Nordic Youth Basketball Meeting – a network for young leaders

VOLLEYBALL FEDERATIONS

Participants: Denmark (3), Sweden (3), Norway (3), Åland (2)

Secretary: Helle Carlsen, Denmark

NVBFs facebookside: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/SMASHIN/194397090606010

General discussions of common subjects

The content of the discussions was mostly about the different challenges in the four federations. It was less focused on coaching, the role of the trainer and mentoring. The questions that should support the group discussions did not invite to actual discussion or debate, as everyone agreed on the messages of the speakers: The good trainer should see the individual as a whole human being, remember joy as a motivating factor, dare to navigate in chaos and let mastering be primary to achieving actual results. Therefore the participants chose spontaneously to discuss their own actual challenges within the volleyball federations. Among the discussed subjects were:

• Drop out among youngsters DK and S sees af decrease within the youngsters (13-18 years9. Norway don``t have drop out among teenagers. Possible reasons and differences were discussed.

• Amount of men/women in volleyball. Sweden has about 60% women and 40% men. Earlier it was the opposite.

• Problems in small clubs The small clubs have problems finding enough players to build a full team.

Possible solutions were discussed

• Lack of trainers and facilities is a problem all over

Exchange and presentation of materials

The federations handed out and personated their different materials (educational- instruction and other materials)

Furthermore they exchanged dates for tournaments or other opportunities for taking part in tournaments across the borders.

Plans for the future and new ideas

Large plentitude of new ideas and possible cooperation across the countries:

• Common Nordic child and youth tournament during World Championship in Denmark in 2013

• Exchange of knowledge and concrete cooperation on development of different kinds of volleyball games

• Nordic clinics • Volleyball for new target groups: yummi Mummies and hot Dads datingvolley (for

single parents ☺ )

• In general a big wish to keep in contact and networking with colleges in the nordic countries.

What did we get out of the group work?

Everybody had profited from getting to know each other. Now you have a face on everyone and it is easier to call or contact each other if you want to discuss volleyball matters. Networking-networking-networking!!!

Exchanging materials were much appreciated. It saves you a lot of energy as you don`t have to invent everything from scratch.

Large inspiration for your own work to have met other colleges who are dedicated to the development of volleyball game. It gives you a lot of energy to go home and continue your work.

JUDO FEDERATIONS

Participants: Denmark (2), Finland (2), Norway (2), Åland (2)

Secretary: Friday: Antero Wallinus-Rinne, Norway

Friday 15.00 – 17.00

Finland, Denmark and Norway gave a presentation about their organization and coach education structure. The federations used nearly 2 hours to do this so it was decided that the presentation of Ålands educational program should be presented on Saturday. There were many questions and interesting discussions between the federations so there was no time to discuss the additional questions.

BOXING FEDERATIONS

Participants: Denmark (3), Finland (1), Norway (2), Sweden (2)

Secretary: Lena Björk, Sweden

Friday 15.00 – 17.00

Each federation did a presentation about their organization and activity, see the attached files.

Except what is said in the presentations Sweden gave a tip about the following homepage www.rf.se/vaccinera (about working with antidoping in clubs) and Denmark about www.sabu.dk (the district that the Danish representatives belong to).

Saturday 14.00 – 16.00

During this session the federations discussed the following questions:

What recognizes the future children and youth coach? What sort of skills will a coach need?

Answers:

• He is a good role model • Parent co-operation/information • Educated • Children activity • Human values • Communication on children’s level • Knows the choice • Patience • Playful

What do you want the future sport education to include?

Answers: A boxing coach should need a license in order to go to competitions. To get the license you would need to complete a training course. This course should include theoretical and practical teaching on how to work with children. Including parts of the education:

• Basic training • Psychological, communication and breeding • How the children develop • Specific boxing • Good coaching and mentoring • Nutrition and health • More communication with the children´s families • Conflict solution

The education should be separated into different parts. Consider added education for the board members. Hope to get more women coaches.

Do you use mentoring to support the coaches of the young athletes in your federation? If yes, how do you practice it and what are your experiences? If not, do you consider involving mentoring in the future?

Answers:

Norway, Denmark and Finland don´t have organized mentoring. Denmark use it sometimes, but not “professional”. Sweden has a project in “Idrottslyftet”, which make it possible for the clubs to work with mentoring. Finland is thinking about starting mentoring for the athletes (men to men and woman to woman) and also for the coaches.

Is it possible to implement mentoring in the coach education? How?

Answers:

The most common answer from the boxing representatives is: Yes, we can implement mentoring in the coach education. Although some see a problem: The problem would be that there is a big difference between the coach education and the mentor education.

If you see mentoring in a broader way it can also include:

• Good experience from a good coach • To get more knowledge of the sport

Sunday 10.15 – 11.15

Finland started this session with a presentation about how they work with physical tests for children and also give the children more knowledge about other variables that affect your performance. The other countries appreciated this and will get a translated “light-version”, so that they can make their own “test-passport” for their children.

After the presentation from Finland, the boxing representatives discussed:

In what areas do you want to make partnerships and connections across the countries?

All countries want to develop a better partnership than today. The first step will be to try to arrange a training camp for youth together. In the further work the countries also will try to involve Iceland.

EQUESTRIAN FEDERATIONS

Participants: 3 persons from Denmark, 2 from Sweden, 2 Iceland, 2 Finland, 2 Norway

Secretary: Lena Eriksson, Åland

Friday

The Countries made a presentation of their federations. You can read more about them in the ppt presentations I attach

They said that they were interested in cooperation in

Finland: We hope that we can discuss together the different ways to draw more attention to today’s passive lifestyle and the number of dropouts we each face every your. We are looking forward to discuss more the voluntary work and how to make it more appealing to the people of today.

Sweden: Education plans Norway: We would like to learn more about other federations experiences with youth- committees Denmark: How do we get more boys in equestrian sports? Iceland: How to promote sport They had some materials that they shared to each other Saturday

Mentoring: All countries said that they not have mentoring officially but that they work with in some ways. Mentoring between coaches “feedback and reflection” but is not officially mentoring They all agree that mentoring could get cooperation but as they from Denmark says that a lot of them are protective of their business and not willing to share everything Maybe we should start to work with the young people in mentoring and stop fight the old generation They also discuss how to get more volunteers into the organization. Its hard to get them there because it´s a demanding hobby, they are not interested in investing more time. It´s an expensive sport and when they put in the money they are not interested to give the clubs help

Sunday

Plans for future, what did they get from this conference Equestrian is a sport where the Nordic countries already have a good network. They have meetings every year. It was good to meet and get new information about children and youth sports and a good opportunity to discuss this subject. It should have been nice to have time to talk to other sports as well.

Denmark gets new ideas from the Norwegian education system and they get new thoughts about that. They are going to develop their education system. They also talk about quality in pedagogic. They talk about to work with youth development in their board

Sweden gets thoughts about how to promote the sport and the importance to have fun. They think about how to put in more coaching into the education.

Finland is in a process of working with strategies and they have got new contacts and thoughts about cooperation in different areas for example sexual harassments. They think that the grown up people have to give responsibility to the youths and give

Iceland left before this session

Iceland: The 4th biggest federation, 8 300 members. Growing around 10% last 3 years. Main focus is getting people that is not listed. Educational system combined with the IOC of Iceland. Lots of dropouts at late teenage. Team Gym: TV is now showing interest.

Denmark: 320 member clubs. 130 000 members. 10 000 coaches, instructors and leaders. Important issues: Engagement, voluntarily, gymnastics all life, education and more. Biggest challenge: The capacity in clubs is to small in age of children, for youth its not cool! Co-operation – development of education.

Saturday:

1. Do you use mentoring to support the coaches of the young athletes in your fed.? Denmark said they didn’t have mentoring but maybe they were doing it without knowing it officially or using this word – mentor. Most of the countries thought that there were some mentoring without an organized system. Norway – not organized system All agreed that mentoring is a good thing and a thing we should do/use. Questions of how to do it were asked, as well as speculations about where to start. 2. Is it possible to implement mentoring in the coach education? How? Its maybe in the education allready without being called mentoring. Meetings with coaches are partly mentoring meetings, at least they can be. Organized mentor program would improve the education. It`s meant for high education. 3. What skills and qualities does a good mentor have? So many things, like having time to do his job, not judging persons, good in comunications, a positive person.

FLOORBALL FEDERATIONS

Participants: From Denmark (3), Åland (2), Norway (3) and Finland (1)

Secretary: Peter Eriksson, Sweden

Friday

The time was used to present the different organizations to each other. The Swedish organization was also presented regardless that the Swedish floorball federation was represented.

In general it´s a sport that is growing in the Nordic countries combined. Finland and Sweden are the two biggest countries an gather over 100 000 participants each.

One issue that was discussed is the common feeling that despite that floorball has been an valid sport for a couple of decades it still fights with the problem that many don’t consider floorball as a real sport and just see it as a schoolyard-sport. But it´s also thanks to the the big masses that play floorball in school that floorball has grown rapidly in both Sweden and Finland.

Åland was very keen on mentioning that for them it´s crucial to cooperate with the other countries to be able to keep up a good standard in educating the coaches, referees and leaders.

Saturday No country is really working with a mentoring-system. Norway has sort of a model but it´s still early to talk about what types of effect it has had and will have. Countries like Åland and Denmark see mentoring as something they maybe can work with in the future. They argue that it´s still to early in their development and that they have bigger issues to address. For example to find ways to get a steady flow of coaches to the sport.

Therefore the afternoon went on to discuss areas that the federations could cooperate within. Without being for detailed the following was mentioned in the discussions.

• Activities for coaches and match officials to take advantage of what has been done in the other countries. We don’t need to invent the wheel once more.

• Activities for our young players to get a chance to play against teams from all Nordic countries

• A Nordic exchange for young leaders

• Discussion on how to establish the sport as an academysport

• Cooperate in finding ways to establish outdoor-arenas

• Discuss politically on how to work towards the municipals, particularly in the big cities, to make them understand that the floorball-development is depending on building new arenas for the sport. Here the floorball-federations need to work together with representatives from basketball and handball.

Sunday The group itself discussed how to be able to take the ideas of cooperation one step further.
