Balancing theory and practice: why great reports don’t always mean great coaching. The potential (and pitfalls) of technology and AI in the future of coach education. 🧠 “A qualification just shows you can drive on the day — it doesn’t tell you what kind of driver you’ll be.” – Sara Hilton 📣 Whether you’re on your coaching journey, mentoring others, or shaping education programmes, this episode will challenge how you think about learning, reflection, and what truly defines good coaching . 👉 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 💬 Join the conversation — what do you think is the future of coach education? #CoachDevelopment #CoachEducation #Mentorship #LearningInSport #TheCoachesNetwork Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
