UK Coaching, the lead agency for coaching in the UK; with a mission to put coaching at the
heart of physical activity and sport has unveiled its principles of ‘Great Coaching’ which
support everyone in the UK to recognise and celebrate when great coaching is taking place.

Research conducted by YouGov on behalf of UK Coaching, revealed that over a 12-month period, 9.3 million adults in the UK received coaching. The majority found coaching to be an overwhelmingly positive experience; one which was enjoyable, motivational and contributed positively to improving their physical health and mental well-being.

As a result, UK Coaching is helping to clarify the meaning of great coaching to the public,
and working with agencies within sport to prioritise the importance of understanding the
needs and aspirations of each individual when coaching.

The Principles of Great Coaching are centred on the acronym PEOPLE and have been designed to help people who are coached, coaches and the wider general public understand
what great coaching is.

UK Coaching’s Principles of Great Coaching are:
Person-centred
Empowering
Organised
Positive
Learning
Engaging

The Principles will be launched during Coaching Week, which is running from the 4-10 June
and is a UK-wide week-long celebration of great coaching.
