Overview and Background. The Elite Coaching Apprenticeship Programme (ECAP) was launched in January 2010 and is an essential element of UK Sport’s ambitious strategy for high performance coach development. It aims to create a bespoke development pathway towards coaching excellence, based on the needs of each coach and their sport. ECAP aims to work closely with National Governing Bodies of sport (NGBs) to accelerate the development of emerging coaches already working in the high performance system, enabling them to not only have an enhanced impact in the short term, but also to become the elite coaches of the future. ECAP is a two-year accelerated development initiative providing the coaches with the skills, knowledge and experiences to deliver results consistently within high performance sport. ECAP follows a traditional apprenticeship model, in that an Apprentice Coach learns from an existing Master Coach (or coaches) within the sport, with on-going support from a Mentor.
