Coach certification
Learn the system well enough to teach it, and be listed where players in your region are looking for someone who does.
What certification involves
Three stages. Most coaches take four to six months over the whole thing.
Education
The full library, plus the coaching module that covers how to teach each mechanic to a player who cannot feel it yet.
Assessment
You submit film of yourself teaching three mechanics to a real player, and it is reviewed and returned with corrections until it passes.
Licensing
Optional. Certified coaches may licence the curriculum and materials to run programmes under their own name, with territory protection.
The certified network
Twenty-two certified, across three continents. If there is nobody near you, that is a territory rather than a gap.

Before you apply
Do I need to be a former professional player?
No. Several of the strongest coaches in the network never played above junior. What is required is that you can teach, and that you are willing to change what you currently teach.
Is a territory exclusive?
Licensed territories are. Certification without a licence is not, and plenty of coaches certify purely to teach their own players better.
How much does it cost?
It depends on whether you licence. Book a call and you will get a number, not a brochure.
Start the conversation
A short call to work out whether certification, licensing or neither is the right answer for what you are building.
