Importance of Supported Practice for Coaches

Coaches, especially new ones, face challenges as they enter the coaching profession without a structured period for practice and development. In other professions like medicine and therapy, professionals undergo supervised training periods that allow for skill acquisition. Without a similar framework in coaching, new coaches are overwhelmed by having to learn various skills like sales, marketing, and coaching simultaneously. This lack of structured practice may lead to burnout and quitting, hindering the growth of the coaching industry.
