Coaches and Team Leads

Cultivate a High-Performance Culture and make your team invencible.

Coaches

We offer Coaches a reliable, data-driven framework to cultivate a high-performance culture and deliver results. Our assessments identify what is working well and the biggest opportunities to improve. Our leadership development framework helps you make rapid progress.  

To improve culture rapidly, we follow three steps:

  • Run the High-Performance Index™

    We require reliable, validated assessments to identify development priorities and ensure we address the right issues.

    The vast majority of teams and programs are not using performance culture assessments at all.

  • Create an action plan

    We offer a modern leadership approach that is:

    data-driven

    athlete-centred

    outcome-focused

    70% of culture programs do not meet these criteria.

  • Hold people accountable

    We need to hold people accountable. Coaches will benefit from our structured performance framework, offering athletes an environment in which they can thrive and ensuring everybody lives team values.

    In a high-performance culture people hold themselves accountable.

The Playbook makes it easy for coaches to be effective

A step-by-step guide to the fundamentals of high-performance culture

To help coaches rapidly become more effective, we created The Playbook, our guide to the fundamentals of high-performance leadership. 

The Playbook covers the core elements of building a high-performance culture:

  • Truly Living Your Values

  • Setting Complete Goals ™

  • Having Effective 1-on-1s

  • Offering 3-Story Feedback ™

  • Providing Authentic Recognition

In a high-performance culture coaches help their teams achieve critical goals while having a great human experience. While that may sound like a high bar, it is entirely achievable if you follow our data-driven, research-based approach.

We empower coaches to make common sense, common practice. In addition to assessments, we offer coaches leadership assessments, cloud-based learning and leadership empowerment tools. How can we help you?

Coaches and the organization have a data-driven action plan

Often you can feel isolated or on an island as a coach. The High-Performance Index and integrated Coach Playbook is an amazing resource. The program helped me better understand my team and connect with athletes on a deeper level. It provided the feedback and tools to make significant, rapid change.

As coaches, if we are not here to teach how to interact positively within our environment, what are we teaching?
