“Hearing Andrea speak about Developing Leadership Skills as a Coach through the Coaching Compass was enlightening. The Coaching Compass offers a tool to support athletes and athletic development not only on a linear path but also from a holistic person-centred approach. The reference points provided are relevant not only to sport coaches, strength coaches, and sport practitioners but to leadership roles beyond the field of play, highlighting the importance of self-awareness as a tool to improve communication and coaching success.”

It guides you through the process of personal reflection and helps you develop the self-awareness you need to see how you’re currently coaching and explore a more meaningful process. One of Andrea’s gifts is her ability to see the player as a complete person and incorporate the four corners of coaching (physical, mental, technical/tactical & socio-emotional) with a much deeper understanding of what we are all trying to aim for."

"We are led to believe that sport, both as an athlete and coach, is solely about winning. This misrepresentation can lead to harmful interactions and misplaced purpose. As a leader and facilitator, Andrea invites a reconsideration of the role and opportunity of a coach. The Coaching Compass is a tool that can help anchor a coach as they navigate the responsibilities of leading young athletes. The care that Andrea has put into this program is evident in her delivery and is supported by her own experiences. Knowledge and skill are necessary for leadership, but meaning and purpose can propel significant change. The content and discussion supported through the Coaching Compass transcends a single sport and can be remarkably transformative for any coach hoping to make a difference."
