is all about getting more women coaching, and making sure once you are coaching, you feel supported and stay motivated.
Whether you call yourself a coach, leader, facilitator, trainer or instructor, we want to help by giving you useful advice and by making you feel part of a valued community.
As a coach you motivate, support and develop a diverse range of people to stay active and feel better about themselves. To help inspire more women in coaching, why not share your stories: What do you love about coaching? And what top tips can you pass onto others?
You can also bring more women into coaching by giving them a simple nudge: In your sessions you know who’d make a great coach – ask them if they would like to help out; sometimes that’s all it takes. Additionally let us know what coaching resources you need? We want to help you learn more and keep you connected.
For all you aspiring coaches out there, read on. Learn about the next steps into coaching and read the stories written by women who wanted to share their passion, pitfalls and top tips from their coaching journeys.

After an extensive three month tour of the North of England, #PassOnYourPassion has come to an end. The campaign, which involved 13 county sports partnerships (CSPs), set out to inspire more women and girls into coaching. Over 500 identified women coaches took part in the campaign, and through the symbolic act of passing a relay baton, welcomed over 500 women and girls to the world of coaching. Read further details about the campaign or watch the video below to see what went on across the 13 counties.

More Women Better Coaching
So many women already coach others in their daily lives - in work, at home or with friends and they simply don't realise what a small step it would be to become a sports coach.
Coaching not only brings benefits to athletes and players but it also brings great satisfaction to coaches, who realise their own potential by helping others realise theirs.
