DOES THIS RESONATE?

You've taken the certifications, you've studied hard, but you're struggling to distill it down to what really matters to create lasting impact...

You're through working endless internships and entry-level positions: you want to advance and grow in higher-paid coaching positions...

You're struggling to develop your philosophy with so much information to absorb...

You're wondering which direction to turn to keep your career moving upwards...

WE CAN HELP

After spending years mentoring coaches and working with top industry employers, we are sharing our experiences through the ALTIS Mentorship Phase II: Coaching Crossroads, to help you maneuver successfully through the messy realities of coaching.

Don't go it alone: let us help you to maximize your coaching ability, and upgrade your employability.

WHAT DOES THE PHASE II MENTORSHIP OFFER?

The ALTIS Mentorship Phase II tackles the key periods, or crossroads, in your coaching career that require higher-level thinking and decision-making abilities. These abilities are too often glossed over, and coaches graduate from programs unprepared for the realities that face them in professional roles.

This self-paced digital program exposes the top-ranked key areas that employers across various industries say are missing from conventional education. If left unaddressed, they can threaten quality decision-making and potential career growth. Don't leave your future to chance.

My questions are outweighing my solutions

This program will give you the tools you need to prioritize questions and identify effective solutions as told through the experiences of master coaches. You'll be exposed to best practices in thinking and learning to give you concrete solutions and end the guesswork. 

The more success I have as a coach, the more parts I have to manage: how can I balance this?

You'll acquire you the tools you need to prioritize questions and identify effective solutions as told through the experiences of master coaches. You'll be exposed to best practices in thinking and learning to give you concrete solutions and end the guesswork. 

PROBLEMS TOO OFTEN OCCUR BEFORE I CAN DETECT OR PREVENT THEM

Improving how we observe, move, and interact within our training environment can help us become more effective 'detectives' - for when we are better able to detect and interpret the clues in front of us, we are in a better position to anticipate problems and enhance athlete progression. Phase II will help you build expertise in these three core areas.

START MAKING AN IMPACT: IMPROVE YOUR DECISION MAKING

The ALTIS Mentorship Phase I: Coaching Essentials brought you stability. As a Coach further along in their career, you now need to acquire adaptability.

The ALTIS Mentorship Phase II: Coaching Crossroads will help you to develop the ability to make informed decisions around ever more complex athlete problems, and address concerns including a career plateau or your future career trajectory.

HOW TO DOMINATE THE PLANNING PROCESS

Planning for performance can be confusing. We'll teach you how to make sense of the mass of information available to you to streamline your performance and management processes.

HOW THE BEST COACHES INTERACT

If players don't buy in to what you do or say, you're left totally stuck. Learn communication and influence skills that the industry's most successful coaches use to positively leverage behavior and ensure your message is heard.

HOW THE BEST COACHES OPERATE

Moving through the career ladder can be daunting if you don't understand how to operate in different scenarios and settings. We'll walk you through how the best navigate the choppy waters of professional coaching to create positive working environments that deliver high-level outputs.

HOW PLAYERS MOVE

You'll learn the factors that conspire to impact movement outcomes, and how to influence them to get the results you want.

HOW ATHLETES LEARN

Frustrated that your teaching isn't having impact? Let us help you to understand exactly how to leverage your message to influence positive learning outcomes that stick.

HOW THE BEST COACHES THINK

Success comes from more than the gathering of information, it comes from the clear organization of thought processes that filter and leverage information to create clarity, and consistent outcomes. You will learn the very same methods top coaches use to organize their thinking, to upgrade your methodologies.

YOUR COACHING STAFF

By engaging frequently with the exclusive Mighty Networks Mentorship Phase II group you'll get access to upon enrollment, you can step up, revisit, and refresh on any attribute or skill, anytime.

Phase I of the ALTIS Mentorship program provided the framework of the 'ALTIS Coaching Essentials.'

Our purpose in Phase II is to ensure you are prepared with the best skills and attributes for you to manage career changing decisions: Decisions you face as you meet a number of 'Crossroads' in your coaching career 

These skills and attributes were identified, by coaches like you, as missing from their formal education.

Moreover, sports performance employers say these six abilities are exactly what they are looking for, and are often lacking in coaches trying to get to the next level.

On this journey you take the steps in evaluating what you really need, and making sense of how it will help you as you approach a career crossroads. You will find yourself with a group of similarly proactive coaches, with whom we hope you will connect and develop relationships to help you on your coaching journey.

By the end of Phase II, we are confident you will have what it takes to make the right choices whether you are approaching, or sitting, at a career crossroads. 

No. While we offer suggested routes for completion, you are free to take as little or as long as you like to complete this program. It can be entirely self-paced if that is your preferred route.

While we recommend you start at Phase I if you are at the beginning of your career, you can of course dive straight into Phase II if you are facing a crossroads in your career.

Completing Phase I and/or Phase II is a bonus asset when it comes to applying for the hotly contested places in Coach Pfaff's Phase III Mentorship.

The ALTIS Mentorship is for coaches that want to discover their version of great coaching and navigate their path to it. Working with expert coaches and supported by your peer community, you will become a more effective decision maker, enhancing your ability to manage increasingly complex problems.

These skills will not only influence how and who you coach, but will provide you with the tactics you need to confidently navigate your career.

Mentorship focuses on execution and practice, while our courses focus on science, knowledge, and understanding.

Mentorship is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. It is the cornerstone to develop expertise in a profession. 

Without a good mentor, a coach will never fully develop their skills. 

It seems the most popular way to develop 'expertise' is through courses and seminars. While these methods can give you insight into the component-parts of coaching - they don't show you how to coach.  

Coaching courses are akin to watching sports highlights shows.  

They show you all the interesting pieces, but they don't show you how they all fit together.  Of course, you can figure this out on your own - by 'just coaching', but there's a far more efficient and effective way: the guidance of a good mentorship program, led by great mentors who can show you how all the pieces fit together.

Money Back Guarantee ALTIS

As with all ALTIS Programs and Courses, if you aren't satisfied with the Phase II Mentorship upon completion, you can take advantage of our 30 day, money back guarantee.

We provide this assurance because we are so confident that our resources can, and will, help you.
