Pre-order for April 2026!

Built for Head Coaches, Coach Developers, Heads of PE, and Academy Leads, these cards help you facilitate workshops, support staff growth, and create better coaching conversations by design and not luck.

Each challenge prompts sports leaders to think, adapt, notice, and reflect on the skills that matter most in modern, player-centred and games-based environments.

How Head Coaches & Coach Developers use them:

• Facilitate high-impact coaching workshops
• Structure mentor conversations with purpose
• Support ongoing CPD, not one-off sessions
• Create a shared coaching language across programmes
• Develop coaches who can think on the run

What’s inside the deck?

60+ coaching challenges, split into three powerful categories:

• Engage: Challenges that help coaches increase player ownership and engagement, plus create learning environments players want to be part of.
• Change: Challenges that stretch coaches to adapt their behaviours and language, rethink session design and interventions as well as coach in the game, not just from the sideline
• Reflect: Challenges designed to develop reflective, self-aware coaches, improve noticing and decision-making. Turning everyday sessions into continuous learning opportunities

How these cards are different?

These aren’t activities to do they are challenges that shape how coaches think and act.

• Designed to facilitate coach development workshops
• Ideal for in-house CPD, mentoring conversations, and staff meetings
• Supports games-based, player-centred, and inquiry-driven coaching
• Encourages coaches to notice more, say less, and design better environments

Whether you’re working with early-career coaches or experienced practitioners, the cards meet coaches where they are and stretch them forward.
