Coach Logic: making sense of coaching

WHAT WE DO

THREE WAYS TO SUPPORT COACHING

    COACH DEVELOPMENT

    MEET SAM

    SAM shows coaches and coach developers what happened in a session and when, so development conversations start from the session itself. It helps sports organisations develop coaches at scale with evidence-led feedback rooted in real coaching practice.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

RIGOUR

BUILT ON PUBLISHED RESEARCH

Behaviours are classified against published coaching research frameworks, not a scheme we invented. We work with Dublin City University and world-class sporting organisations to continuously improve SAM.

SAM is not one hundred percent accurate, and no AI tool is. The difference is that every classification links back to the session video, so you can always check it yourself.

Dublin City University

RESEARCH PARTNER

Dublin City University has partnered with Coach Logic to support the development of SAM, combining applied coaching expertise with machine learning technology. It has been great working with Mark and Andy, whose coaching experience and openness to collaboration have helped shape a solution with the ability to shape future evidence-informed coaching practice. We are only just beginning to understand what these technologies offer and are really excited to see how we can evolve guided reflections and coaching observations.

  • The Evidence for Coach Reflection | Why Supported Reflection Makes Better Coaches

    Does supporting coaches to reflect on their own practice make them better coaches? The research says yes - but only when reflection is structured, facilitated, and designed into development systems rather than left to individual initiative. Tom Hartley synthesises the evidence for governing bodies and development leads.

  • AI in Coach Development | Separating Substance from Shine — Part 1 of 3

    AI coaching analysis tools are easier to build than ever — and that's the problem. A polished dashboard and a confident-sounding report are not evidence of accuracy. Before any governing body or performance programme adopts one of these tools, they need to understand the chain of uncertainty underneath the output, and know whether they can actually verify what it's telling them.

  • Coaching Conversations That Add Value

    Most coaching conversations about a session are vague because neither coach has much to work with. Basketball Australia, the FAI, and England Rugby are already changing that — embedding practice-based data into their coach development programmes to make those conversations worth having.
