Courses designed for busy coaches.
When you’re a coach, you have to live and breathe your job, you have to work long, unsocial hours, support your athletes around the clock, underpaid (we know, don’t worry, we’ve been there) and relentlessly pursue success – it isn’t easy!
All that being said, continuing to learn and sharpen your skills as a coach is not only a requirement, it’s absolutely vital.
That’s why we’ve designed our online courses to fit around your busy coaching schedule. Every mini-course is just 1 hour long and broken down into lessons that are a maximum of 15 minutes long. This means you can watch 1 lesson per day and can easily finish one course per week.

If you have no evidence of your continued learning, then how can you prove to your boss, manager, employer, etc. that you’re an avid learner and constantly striving to further your career?
That’s exactly why we’ve added ‘certificates of completion’ to all of our mini-courses. After passing the quiz at the end of each course, these certificates provide you with physical evidence that you’re constantly learning and striving to be better.
