how it works
the coaches collective brings together sport coaches from diverse disciplines into an expert-facilitated, psychologically informed space.
we dive into what truly influences both the craft of coaching and the athlete experience—covering emotional intelligence, mental performance, nutrition barriers, body image, shame resilience, trauma-informed coaching, business strategy, and more. It’s equal parts leadership development, peer support, and real-world training.

THE COACHES COLLECTIVE PROGRAM GETS RESULTS:
-
More COACHING TOOLS.
Not sure how to help build shame resilience? Confused by how to transform anxiety into a superpower? Uncertain about how to address negative thought patterns? Need more skills to help increase motivation? The Coaches Collective program provides you with concrete, useful, and applicable tools to increase your skillset in supporting psychological growth.
-
More CONFIDENCE.
Being a coach isn’t always fun and games. All coaches experience moments of doubt and insecurity. This is part of the process but it doesn’t have to be the position from which you operate. The Coaches Collective helps you embrace your unique coaching style, cultivate your strengths, and know your blindspots. A confident coach becomes a contagion for a confident athlete.
-
More COMMUNITY.
The coaching space can sometimes be a lonely one. Even if you’re at a big University there may be times when you feel like you’re going at this as a solo practitioner. The Coaches Collective provides an opportunity for you to connect with other coaches from all over the world. It’s an opportunity to learn from various disciplines and alternative coaching styles.
