UK Coaching

Just as great coaches are there for their participants, so we are Here for the Coach. We are the team behind the coach. We empower, champion, and develop coaches to play a pivotal role in building healthier and happier communities by bringing great coaching to the lives of millions. As the only organisation purely dedicated to all coaches, in all environments, across all sports and physical activities, we are here too for our partner organisations who employ, deploy, and develop coaches and the coach development workforce. Working with partners we grow and nurture our existing partnerships and establish new networks of trusted relationships, so we can support them to meet the needs of their coaching network and workforce. As the voice of the coach, we continue to raise the national profile of coaches and coaching: by demonstrating and promoting the tremendous impact that coaches can have on lives and communities. Coaches today support a broader range of participants. As the sport and physical activity landscape has evolved, a coach’s role has diversified. Anyone who provides support, guidance and inspiration aligned to people’s individual needs and aspirations is a coach. We aspire to build a well-connected, more engaged, and better-qualified workforce that is representative of the population, capable of working across diverse communities and in multiple environments, and able to work to different outcomes. Collaboration and connection with our partners is integral in achieving this. As part of that commitment, we will build on our successes to further drive coaching research, develop insight and share best practice to meet the needs of coach development; investigate and understand how technology can better support coaching; and provide high-quality digital learning and development solutions for coaches, which are accessible to all.
