Parkour coaches work in complex environments, with real people in real spaces. And, occasionally, things go wrong.
A sprained ankle. A bad fall. A hit to the head. Very occasionally, something more serious. The question every coach should be able to answer clearly, without hesitation: what do I do right now?
First aid knowledge is not a precaution for nervous coaches. It is a core competency for serious ones. And what most coaches do not realise is that it changes how they coach in every session - not just the ones where an incident occurs.
Coaches who understand first aid spot risk earlier. They design sessions with clearer safety margins. They communicate hazards more precisely. And when something does happen, their composure settles the group rather than unsettling it.
The ability to read a situation, stay calm under pressure, assess what is happening and act decisively - these are coaching skills. First aid training develops them directly.
Know what to do before you need to.
