We are here to help you to discover your potential 

Whilst built on the foundations of a qualification pathway, the FIH Coach Education framework is fundamentally about coach development. It aims to provide opportunities for open mindset coaches to discover, observe, learn and grow, whether through an e-learning or 3hr online workshop or a 1-2 year course.

— What we BELIEVE

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is to develop coaches who are able to facilitate a training environment in which players can develop their ability to recognise multiple options, make appropriate task decisions, and complete those tasks with technical competence.

For simplicity, the development of a hockey player may be considered as physical, mental, technical or tactical. These areas of individual knowledge, understanding and competence, together with the environment and the task being performed, are the constraining factors in performance.

We believe that possessing a knowledge and application of fundamental technical hockey skills will enable a player to adapt more quickly to game constraints, and to have a broader range of options available to them in any given task.
  • Have a growth mindset
  • Enable athletes to drive their learning
  • Challenge with knowledge
  • Encourage and Inspire
