Impact of Great Coaching
The well-being of our nation reflects directly in the health of our coaching.
Coaches encourage people to be more active, more often, and positively influence lives and communities by impacting on physical and mental well-being, as well as social and economic development.
We want to build a coaching workforce that is representative of the population, capable of working across diverse communities, in multiple environments, and able to work to different outcomes.
To make this vision happen we need to build a future where EVERYONE feels they can coach.
