Our work in this area ensures that the number and quality of coaches, officials and leaders (voluntary and paid) meets and encourages the demand for sport. We focus on enhancing the education, skills and knowledge of the workforce for sport to deliver and develop high quality sporting experiences, and inspire people of all ages to get involved and develop through sport. For those on the world stage we invest in successful performance coaches and specialist practitioners and seek to improve the support systems and career structure that will retain them in Scotland.
