How we support organisations 

At FCN, we believe that improving opportunities for female coaches requires more than individual development—it requires changes to the systems, cultures and environments in which coaches work.

Drawing on over a decade of global experience, lived insights and research, we work alongside sports organisations, governing bodies, universities, brands and teams to better understand the challenges facing coaches and create meaningful, sustainable change.

Research & Insight

We gather and create unique insights into the coaching landscape, exploring the experiences, challenges and opportunities facing coaches across sport.

Through research, data collection, programme evaluations and lived experience studies, we help organisations better understand their coaching environments and identify opportunities for growth and improvement.

Consulting & Strategic Advisory

We advise and support federations, governing bodies, teams and organisations seeking to create more inclusive, effective and high-performing coaching systems.

From coach development programmes and leadership pathways to culture, policy and organisational strategy, we help organisations identify barriers, strengthen systems and create environments where coaches can thrive.

Speaking Engagements & Workshops

Through keynote presentations, workshops and facilitated discussions, we share global insights, practical experiences and thought leadership on coaching, leadership, culture and the advancement of women in sport.

Combining research, lived experiences and stories from our international network, our sessions challenge thinking, inspire action and equip organisations with practical strategies for creating positive change.


Our Impact In Action

Over the past decade, FCN has worked alongside international federations, governing bodies, universities, professional teams and sporting organisations to better understand coaching systems, support female coach development and create more inclusive sporting environments.

Our work spans research, programme evaluation, strategic consulting, coach development, keynote speaking and system-wide change initiatives.
