2 About us People. Passion. Progress. Everyone can remember that inspirational teacher at school who just got you. The teacher who understood how to motivate, caught your imagination, made you think differently and supported you in achieving a goal that you determined yourself. People often say that sport changed their life, but when you ask how, or what they mean, they frequently talk about the people in sport and how those people changed their life. Someone who supported them to be better, to be themselves or indeed to live the life they wanted. Many people, without possibly even knowing it, use coaching skills to inspire others to achieve. Mums who nurture their children, managers and leaders at work who support their teams to achieve individually and collectively, kids who comfort their mates in difficult times. Sport and physical activity provide a fantastic medium in which people can inspire and support people through coaching. Coaching is about improving a person s experience of sport and physical activity by providing specialised support and guidance aligned to their individual needs and aspirations. What makes great coaching? People. Passion. Progress. We are UK Coaching. Through our commitment to people, passion and progress, we re taking the lead in coaching excellence.
