Elevate your coaching journey
Coaching is more than a profession; it's a passion. Yet, many coaches face significant hurdles in their development journey. Time and financial constraints often make traditional weekend seminars unfeasible. Moreover, these seminars may not lead to lasting improvements in coaching practices, leaving coaches frustrated and uncertain. The available courses tend to focus on specific content areas, like gymnastics or weightlifting, but fall short in guiding coaches on how to effectively integrate this new knowledge into their practices.
At Virtuous Coach Development, we recognise these challenges and are committed to offering solutions that address them. Your members are constantly developing, and you don't want their development to outpace yours as a coach. If you believe in the power of coaching, then you recognise that every coach needs a coach.
Tailored courses and 1-on-1 coaching
To meet the diverse and unique challenges faced by coaches, affiliates, and coach developers, we proudly offer three cutting-edge hybrid courses: "6-week Elevate Kick Start Challenge," "Elevate Coach Developer Program," and "Raising the Bar - Coach Development." Each course is designed to provide flexible, personalised, and impactful learning experiences tailored to your specific needs.

Testimonials
Robin Swinkels - Head Coach
Geordi van Rooij - Full time coach
I just feel a lot more in control than I was before...experience how this controlled, safe environment will better you as a coach, give you tools to use in the future, and give you a lot of rest in the head as well because you're so in control of what happens in the class
You provided a framework to help me describe what good coaching looks like for MY members. And it gives me more structure in my coaching, so that was really useful. I feel more in control”
Elaine Burke - Part time coach
Raising the Bar was so helpful for me and my team. Giving feedback was very stressful but now easier and my team sees it as something good. The 1-on-1 sessions were amazing. I learn how to better help my coaches and have stronger relationships.
This has made a big difference for us
Ana Santori - Head coach
Farran brings a ton of knowledge and experience from her extensive corporate and educational background to the table, that I - and many other - functional coach educators lack
Willem Hlberdink - UnScared CrossFit® Co-Owner
This challenge is like nothing I experienced before! It helped me refocus my energy into actually making a difference for my athletes
Mark Peters - Full time coach
This course is different from anything I have tried before. The sessions with Farran gave me new understanding of how to talk with my team and give feedback in a way that feels positive not like conflict. Now,my coaches work with clear goals and our members are much happier. I am so glad I joined!
Marco Lyons - Affiliate owner
After working with you, I've learned to evaluate my coaching critically, basically to look at it from the view of the member, and then you see all these patterns that aren't optimal
The Coach Developer App
Whether you're new to coaching, have years of experience, or want to explore being a coach developer, this App will provide you with the gateway to the knowledge, skills and insights to elevate not only your own coach development, but also the development of the coaches you work with.
Our mission? It is to inspire, elevate and transform coaches (developers) to in turn inspire, elevate and transform the people they are coaching. However coach development is about more than what happens on the floor. The courses in the Coach Developer App have been selected to inspire and support you as a coach or affiliate owner to not only become more effective and efficient coaches on the floor, but also successful coaches and affiliates within the larger ecosystem.
​
Like it takes time and focused effort to learn to snatch or do a ring muscle up, elevating your own coaching also takes time and focused effort. The Coach Developer App can support you in creating your own individual roadmap, connecting you with the knowledge and skills you need to develop in this moment, and helping you plan for what you need in the future.
