Make sense of coaching across your organisation

SAM is just the start. We turn coaching practice into insights that inform your strategy, with consultancy to shape the questions and support to act on the insight.

THE CHALLENGE

FROM INVESTMENT TO IMPACT

You invest in courses, resources, webinars and CPD. Attendance shows who took part. Coach Logic Insights shows how coaching is being delivered, what your investment in coach education is changing, and where to focus next to make the biggest difference.

WHAT YOU CAN ASK

START WITH YOUR QUESTIONS

Every project begins with what you want to know about your coaching. Three examples:

  • Did coaching change after a course, a workshop or a new resource?

  • How is coaching being delivered across our coaches right now?

  • Does it differ by coaching level, age group or the players being coached?

Any answer can be looked at by group, such as gender, age range, location or coaching level, and followed over time.

THE KIND OF INSIGHT

WHAT THE SESSIONS SHOW

  • 8 min

    Athlete voice

    Athletes are invited to speak about once every eight minutes.

  • 1 in 7

    Specific praise

    One piece of praise in seven says what was good.

  • 1 in 4

    Practice to competition

    One session in four connects the practice to competition.

  • 1 in 3

    Choice

    One session in three offers athletes a choice.

These are the questions one group asked. We can answer the questions you have.

Examples from our first insight project: 402 sessions from 198 coaches across eight sports.

HOW IT WORKS

ONE COHORT, ONE CYCLE

  1. 01

    SCOPE

    Agree the questions you need answered, and the group of coaches whose sessions will answer them.

  2. 02

    CAPTURE

    The coaches record their sessions and reflect on their own SAM analysis, so coach development starts here.

  3. 03

    INSIGHT

    Coach Logic turns the group's sessions into insights that answer the questions you set.

  4. 04

    REFLECT AND ACT

    Turn the insights into changes to coach education, resources and priorities, and into the next questions.

IT STARTS WITH YOUR COACHES

EVERY SESSION DOES TWO JOBS

For the coach

SOMETHING TO REFLECT ON

Each coach gets their own SAM analysis of the session: what they said and when, linked to the footage. They reflect on it alone or with a coach developer, so coach development begins with the first upload.

For the governing body

A PICTURE TO ASK QUESTIONS OF

Every session adds to a picture of how coaching is being delivered across the group. That picture lets you answer the questions that matter to your coach development strategy.

The more your coaches use SAM for their own development, the more you can learn about coaching across your organisation.
