"One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination."

About the coaches' coach
Background
The Coaches' Coach is a platform to bring the best coaches and mentors together with coaches to provide the very best coaching practices. The Coaches' coaches are experts in their field with many years of experience and qualifications.
The Coaches' Coach was set up by Dr Harvey Anderson, who had seen the huge gap between coach education and what everyday sports coaches needed to know. Sport Coaching is a complex and challenging vocation, that is both highly rewarding and highly demanding. We want you to make a difference in what you do, and what you stand for.

He holds a Doctorate of Professional Studies in Sport Coaching, an MSc in Sport & Exercise Science and BSc (Hons) in PE and Sport Science. Dr Anderson has presented research around the world including in the USA, Australia, Japan and at several Europeans Conferences. Dr Anderson has acted as an External Advisors to many Universities in the UK and overseas.

The Coaches' Coach Philosophy
We believe passionately in the use of evidence-based practices to enhance the coaching practices of our coaches. We hold strongly to the belief that athlete development comes before performance outcomes. We believe that high quality coaching and mentorship can enhance the coaching practices of other coaches.
