Become A Better Coach

Designed as an alternative to the Foundation Course, which provides an in-depth critical exploration of foundational coaching pillars, Essentials instead provides a more succinct synopsis – the essentials of the Foundation Course in essence.

Distill the foundational pillars of coaching theory into its essential components.

 

Provide a concise overview of core coaching strands, fundamental to coaches of all sports.

Build the confidence and understanding to question, adapt, and evolve your own philosophies.

Course Overview

ALTIS Essentials provides a concise introduction to core topics which underpin successful coaching in all sports. This educational offering has been crafted for individuals seeking to gain an overview of essential coaching theory and its application, in a condensed short-course format. This digital course is perfect for coaches who have not taken – or are not planning to take – the Foundation Course, and are instead looking for a shorter overview from the ALTIS perspective.

Who's It For

  • Coaches seeking to achieve a fundamental grasp of the essential components necessary for excellence in coaching – in a streamlined, short course format, rather than the depth provided in the Foundation Course.
  • Coaches looking to take an economical time and cost option for their first step on the ALTIS Education Pathway, before continuing their journey with other ALTIS Education products.
  • Coaches who want a succinct one-stop-shop refresher course on what the ALTIS Staff feel are the necessary fundamentals to coaching success.

Reviews

“Just completed the ALTIS Essentials Course! I recommend everyone to do it. Very good price for such amazing content!” Panagiotis Roxanas | Track & Field, S&C Coach, Research-Teaching Associate | University of Wisconsin-Whitewater

“I really enjoyed the video content as it shared anecdotal real world experiences from the coaches. It provides you with the assurance that what you plan to do and what gets implemented or practiced may never be the same, and that it’s ok as the coaching process is an ever evolving relationship between the athlete and the coach.”

Brian Doyle | Sports Scientist, S&C Coach

“Just finished the ALTIS Essentials Course. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The last 2 chapters were worth the price of admission on their own. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and skill set. I’ll be referring back regularly!”

Devan N McConnell | Head of Hockey Performance & Sport Science | UMass Lowell

“One of the most thorough and thought-provoking resources out there for all kinds. ALTIS is values-driven and doesn’t needlessly overcomplicate.”
