Introduction to coaching
Leaders working in the sport and physical activity sector are doing a great job, but we still have some big challenges to overcome. We know we’re stronger when we support each other and work to address them together.
Working to tackle inequalities is hard. It’s complex, it takes time, commitment, determination, grit and perseverance but it’s incredibly rewarding when you start to see change happening.
We’ve heard from the amazing leaders in our sector that their roles can feel lonely and isolating at times and that they sometimes feel stuck with leadership challenges, especially when working to tackle inequalities.
Available to system partners
Our coaching and mentoring offers are designed to support individuals, teams and groups. They’re fully funded by The National Lottery and available for leaders and board members of Sport England system partner organisations. You can check if your organisation is a system partner through the link below.
Our coaches are carefully selected for their knowledge, expertise and experience. They work to support leaders through a journey of growth and self-development, helping them to amass new skills, build fresh perspectives and enhance their confidence. Our sessions provide a safe space and the time to think through and explore the best ways of tackling the challenges they’re facing.
Leaders at all levels are welcome to apply, you don’t need a leadership label in your job title to be leading and influencing change in your organisation.
Being a leader isn’t determined by job titles or seniority
It’s about wanting to make a difference, creating change and opening up opportunities for more people to live active lives. If you work to tackle these inequalities, or you support the people that do, then you're part of ‘Leading the Movement’.
