Coaching Accountability

Community of Practice

A 12-month, application-only mastermind for coaches who want to grow together, think together, and make sense of their work in a deeper way.

You can move quickly on your own, but deeper, more durable growth happens when coaches learn together, challenge one another, and make sense of their work collectively.

At some point, every coach reaches a stage where books, clinics, and one-off workshops stop moving the needle. You want deeper insight, richer conversation, and a space where other coaches understand the complexity of what you’re navigating, not in theory, but in practice.

Of course, a group of coaches within a sport organization may also be interested in participating in a Community of Practice. Please reach out and we can determine the best supports for your CoP.

If you’ve ever wished you had “your people,” this is your space.

Coaching is often lonely.

You’re surrounded by athletes and staff, yet isolated when it comes to your own learning. You rarely get space to unpack the deeper layers of your work: decision-making, communication, relational dynamics, values, blind spots, well-being, and the human side of leadership.

A Community of Practice fills that gap by giving you:

  • A group of coaches who work in similar areas and genuinely care about making a difference
  • A structured place to reflect, question, and pay attention in ways that help you see new things
  • A collaborative environment where learning is shared and uncertainty is welcomed
  • Accountability to develop and refine your coaching habits
  • Guidance on how to apply insights within your specific context, not a generic model
  • A safe space to be challenged and supported at the same time

When you bring together coaches who are genuinely committed to growth, something powerful happens. Insight comes faster, reflection goes deeper, and learning lasts longer. You feel less alone and more supported, and you begin thinking more clearly and intentionally about your work.

Over time, your coaching starts to feel more aligned with who you truly want to be. Growth accelerates when it’s shared and this community is built for exactly that.

What we focus on inside this year-long experience

Shared research & new knowledge

I’ll bring concepts, research, and fresh perspectives to stretch your thinking and you’ll share what you’re learning, too.

Real-world coaching discussions

We break down actual scenarios, challenges, and questions from your environments — what happened, why it happened, what it means, and what it points to next.

Collaborative problem-solving

You’re not just getting answers, you’re building your capacity to ask better questions, see more of your context, and support others doing the same.

Deep reflective practices

You’ll learn how to analyze your coaching from new angles, uncover patterns you haven’t seen before, and connect daily practice to long-term development.

Building coaching relationships that last

The connections you build here don’t disappear at the end of the year. Many coaches stay in touch, collaborate, and continue to support one another long after the program ends.

Who this community is for

You’re a good fit if you are:

  • Open, reflective, curious, and willing to stretch yourself
  • Interested in the deeper layers of coaching, not just tactics
  • Eager to learn from others as much as you learn from yourself
  • Looking for meaningful professional community
  • Committed to long-term development
  • Ready to both give and receive challenge and support
  • Excited by the idea of being part of a cohort that grows together over a full year

This is not for coaches who want quick answers, scripts, or shortcuts. It is for coaches who want a richer understanding of themselves and to create more value in their work.

  • “Beth is so much more than a mentor. She has a rare ability to truly connect, ask the right questions, and help you discover and develop a coaching style and methodology that feels authentic and right for you.
    Whether we’re working together in person or exchanging a quick text message, Beth is always present, thoughtful, and generous with her time. She genuinely cares. One of the things I admire most about Beth is her ability to bring coaches together. She believes deeply that we are stronger together, and she has an incredible gift for building community and creating meaningful connections that continue to support and inspire long into the future.”     – Joely Christian, Head Coach Royal Military College Women’s Volleyball
  • “Right from the beginning I valued Beth’s guiding principles to transformative learning and collaborative coaching. Asking for coaching help used to feel scary and now I look forward to our monthly group meetings and 1:1 calls. With Beth’s help I learned to accept my coaching gifts, then trust the systems I’ve already built and confidently deliver with my own coaching clients. Thank you, Beth, for guiding us to be more courageous, ask better questions and speak up.” – Jen Woods, Golf Professional and Junior Golf Coach
  • “Being part of a Community of Practice has given me more than new coaching ideas. It’s created meaningful and trusting relationships with fellow coaches, who genuinely support, challenge, and inspire me. The open, honest conversations and diverse perspectives continually challenge my thinking, deepen my own reflection and help shape how I understand both sport and my role within it.  This group creates a genuine sense of connection and belonging, and there’s something especially meaningful about learning alongside people who truly understand the unique challenges of the coaching profession.  It’s a reminder that when learning is shared and strong relationships are built, the work carries greater purpose and the impact on the athletes we serve extends far beyond any single moment.” – Morgan McHaffie, Head Coach Queen’s University Women’s Hockey

Apply to join a group

Because this is a highly collaborative environment, group fit matters for you, for me, and for the other members. That’s why this experience is application-only. I’ll review your responses, we’ll have a short conversation, and if it’s a good fit, you’ll receive an invitation to join.

Coaches will not be placed in a cohort with other coaches in the same sport and competition level, i.e., coaches competing directly against one another will be placed in separate cohorts, unless they both expressly agree to participate in the same cohort.

FAQ

This isn’t accountability in the sense of checklists or performance pressure. It’s accountability to your own growth — showing up consistently, reflecting honestly, and being in relationship with other coaches who notice patterns, ask better questions, and help you stay aligned with the coach you want to become.

This is for experienced, thoughtful coaches who are past the stage of looking for quick fixes. If you’re curious, reflective, open to challenge, and interested in the deeper layers of coaching — decision-making, relationships, values, and leadership — you’ll likely feel at home here.

No. Coaches from different sports and contexts are intentionally brought together. Learning across environments is part of what makes the conversations richer. Coaches who directly compete against one another are placed in separate cohorts unless all parties explicitly agree otherwise.

There is also an opportunity to keep coaches at one or two particular levels together in one cohort.

No one is forced to share. Psychological safety is a core part of the Community of Practice. You decide what you bring, when you bring it, and how deeply you engage. Over time, most coaches find themselves sharing more because trust develops naturally.

It’s both, but it leans heavily toward discussion and sense-making. I’ll introduce frameworks, research, and ideas to stretch thinking, however the real learning happens through reflection, dialogue, and applying insights to your own context.

Because meaningful growth takes time. Trust, insight, habit change, and deeper clarity don’t happen in a few sessions. The year-long structure allows learning to compound and relationships to deepen in a way shorter programs simply can’t offer.

You’ll complete a short application, we’ll have a brief conversation, and we’ll decide together if this is the right fit. The goal isn’t exclusivity — it’s alignment. Group fit matters for everyone involved. Knowing how busy coaches are, we’ll also sync calendars to ensure meeting times are mutually agreeable for all.
