My Vision:
My mission is to provide guidance to current and hopeful sports coaches in their journey to supporting happy and healthy athletes. Through open communication, support, and learning, the sports system can have reliable and secure resources to find answers to their questions, discover coaching advice, and attain skills to better both their own and their students’ careers!
What does TheCoachApproach.org provide?
Through a variety of articles, blogs, videos, and a research paper written by Molly Gordon (creator of thecoachapproach.org), it is our goal to provide guidance, support, and education opportunities to sports coaches around the world.
Why is coach education important:
Studies show that athletes coached under well educated teachers are more confident, comfortable speaking their voice, struggle less with their mental health, and tend to be more successful. Educating coaches has the potential to create athletes who find pleasure in their sport, are intrinsically motivated to continue, and feel secure in their abilities, reducing unnecessary pressure, anxiety, and injuries. Increased coach training can have a serious positive impact on an athlete's mental and physical health and their success in their sport.
