ENHANCING DEVELOPMENT THROUGH INTERACTION

The Collaborate Sports Mission is to provide aspiring practitioners with real world and usable solutions.

By using interactive learning opportunities to collaborate, practitioners can develop their careers and maximise their high performance actions. All content is available in a LIVE manner, meaning its exclusive and relevant to you! Whether it be webinar sessions, 1 to 1 bespoke coaching development, or the Group Mentorship Programmes, the aim is always to help you take your career to the next level.

“The group mentorship programmes have brought me new knowledge, have given me opportunities to reflect on my own practice, and the ability to speak and collaborate with other practitioners from around the World.”
- Rob Nitman, Strength and Conditioning Coach

“These interactive events have been so valuable to my continued growth. The webinars are full of insights and experiences from top coaches and practitioners in the field, and then the interactive component of the breakout sessions facilitates the consolidation and application of those lessons all while enabling discussion with peers from all around the world!”
— Nicole Surdyka, Head of Rehabilitation, OL Reign

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

MONTHLY INTERACTIVE WEBINARS

Each month, elite practitioners share real world examples of their work, and the solutions they use to solve problems that so many of us face in high performance sport. Topics are both S&C specific as well as non technical in nature that relate to personal effectiveness and personal skill development.
Attend live to interact with other coaches and network, or access back ON DEMAND after each event.
GROUP MENTORSHIP

Each programme is an immersive 6 month coaching development programme. No pre recorded content, ALL LIVE, all interactive, meaning it stays relevant to you, with information you can apply from that moment on! There is a S&C Programme for developing coaches, and a Soft Skills Programme suitable for all across all disciplines. Each cohort consists of multiple practitioners on a similar journey, with the learning formats focusing on collaborative input.
BESPOKE COACHING

This option is highly Bespoke in nature and focused on helping you solve your specific problems, whether they be in effectiveness, leadership, or specific skills. Bespoke Coaching allows us to shape your development together after initial needs analysis consultations, meaning the journey is specific to you and your needs, whichever discipline or industry background you come from.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"VALUABLE TO MY CONTINUED GROWTH"

NICOLE SURDYKA - HEAD OF REHABILITATION, OL REIGN, USA
"These interactive webinar events have been so valuable to my continued growth and learning the past few months. The presentations themselves are full of insights and experiences from top coaches and practitioners in the field, and then the interactive component of the breakout sessions facilitates the consolidation and application of those lessons all while enabling discussion with peers from all around the world. Anyone who works or hopes to work in elite sport will find value in these events!"
"UNLIKE ANY OTHER OPPORTUNITY"

JORDAN DESBROW - S&C COACH, QUEENSLAND ACADEMY OF SPORT, AUSTRALIA.
“The Strength & Conditioning IPD programme has been unlike any other professional development opportunity I've been a part of. The content covers information on a range of skills that aren't discussed nearly enough. So far I have gained actionable strategies and frameworks to apply immediately in my current workplace. Additionally, the method of delivery provides every participant with a voice, where you can discuss personal experiences, provide feedback to other coaches, and reflect together along the journey. The takeaways and 'ah ha' moments are endless.”
"ENHANCED MY SELF AWARENESS"

JORDAN CASSIDY - ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT COACH - ULSTER RUGBY, IRELAND
“The Bespoke Coaching that Dan has provided has helped me to greatly enhance my own self-awareness. Tailored discussions, and the Spotlight profiling in particular, have been invaluable to me as I learned more about myself and my own mindset and behaviours. It helped me to be a better colleague to those I work with and a better coach to my athletes.”
"BROADENED MY RANGE AND CREATIVITY"

DYLAN OOI - S&C COACH - PINNACLE, HONG KONG
“Dan has not only been generous in sharing what he knows, but more importantly, how he thinks. The Strength & Conditioning IPD Programme is a great opportunity to gain insight into how key principles are systemized and applied to real-life scenarios. The opportunity to connect with other practitioners has also allowed me to observe how these principles are applied in their environment to solve their own contextual challenges. This has broadened my range and creativity when it comes to applying my skills, thereby improving my adaptability as a coach”
"HAS SIGNIFCANTLY CHANGED HOW I OPERATE WITHIN MY OWN SPACE"

SEAN SMITH - PERFORMANCE COACH - LOUISVILLE ATHLETICS, USA
“The Webinar Events are so much more than your typical webinar. Learning from Dan and his guests is an incredible opportunity. The breakout portions of the sessions are invaluable, providing a space where practitioners can network, share experiences, and have open dialogue to learn from one another. The focus on skills related to communication and collaboration, while learning from the collective knowledge of the group is what really sets these events apart.”
