UK Coaching, along with more than 80 coaching experts from around the world, examined the foundations that make up a high-quality coaching environment that is packed with great learning experiences, to determine exactly what people need to be successful, as well as the skills, qualities and behaviours a coach needs to provide to support them.

The insight-based Coach Learning Framework is a holistic approach towards coaching that is person-centred, long-term focused, and based on the understanding of what development means both for the coach and their participants.

The framework includes nine themes that can be used as a framework to help all levels of coaches learn how to deliver great coaching experiences for all, regardless of the sport or physical activity. The themes are;

  1. Understanding Self
  2. Understanding the Individual
  3. Understanding Your Environment
  4. Understanding Your Coaching Practice
  5. Athletic Development and Physical Preparation
  6. Lifestyle, Health and Well-being
  7. Relationships
  8. Skill Acquisition
  9. Sports Psychology
