About the coaches' coach
Background
The Coaches' Coach is a platform designed to connect the best coaches and mentors with aspiring coaches, aiming to deliver the very best coaching practices. These Coaches' coaches are experts in their respective fields, boasting many years of experience and qualifications.
Founded by Dr. Harvey Anderson, The Coaches' Coach was established in response to the significant gap between coach education and the practical knowledge that everyday sports coaches require. Sport coaching is a complex and challenging vocation, both highly rewarding and demanding. Our mission is to empower you to make a difference in your coaching journey and what you stand for as you coach the coaches.

Do we have the courage to lose mental toughness?
This presentation offers an overview of my discussion at the 2023 NASPSPA Sport Psychology Conference, where I challenge the conventional use of the concept of 'mental toughness.' Instead, I argue that we should focus on 'COURAGE' as a vital quality to develop. This shift is essential for those who aim to coach the coaches in the field of sport psychology.
