"The Coachbetter pathway was the most thought provoking and inspiring coaching experience I have been part of. The quality of the tutors and course content, combined with a modern, player-centered coaching philosophy that encourages coaches to develop their own identity and style, opened my eyes to a new way of understanding the art of coaching."

“The Coachbetter coach education course was an outstanding experience and a valuable opportunity to grow as a coach. I learned new methods to enhance my coaching approach, and the tutors were excellent, providing clear explanations of the European Way and offering practical, on-pitch examples that brought the philosophy to life. I’m truly grateful for the experience and the knowledge I’ve gained.”

"The Coach Profile is an integral part of our UEFA Pro Diploma, the highest international coach education program. It enables us to compare the self-image of the participants with the external image of the trainers and thus gain valuable insights. In this way, we promote the personal and professional development of our coaches in the long term and support them in developing their potential in the best possible way."

FAQs

Frequent questions from clubs, academies and federations.

Can I try it before I pay?

Yes, start on the App and upgrade to Plus, Pro or CityCoach whenever you're ready.

Does pricing work the same way across all three?

No, each works differently. The App is a monthly or annual subscription, CityCoach is a yearly add-on (or included in Pro), and Coach Education is priced per course. You don't need to buy everything at once.

Do I need my club's permission or account to use this?

No, the App, CityCoach and Coach Education all work for you as an individual coach, with or without your club. Clubs that want it club-wide use a separate solution.

Do my players and parents need to download something too?

The App has a player-facing side for schedules, availability and updates (parents manage it for younger players), so it replaces the group chat instead of adding another one.

I've never used a coaching app before, is this a big switch?

No. Add your team, pick a session from the drill library, and you're planning your first training the same day, no steeper a learning curve than the group chat and notebook you're already using.

Are Coach Education courses only available in the US?

No, courses run through partner federations internationally, currently including the US and Lithuania, each combining online modules with in-person practical days at that location.

Where do I start if I've never done formal coach education before?

With the Level 1 Award, no existing licence required. It's the entry point to the Coach Education pathway, blending online modules with live sessions, and it's the foundation Level 2 and the rest of the pathway build on.

What's the difference between CityCoach and Coach Education?

CityCoach is Manchester City's coaching content, built into your session planning. Coach Education is formal, UEFA-aligned licensing, the badge that gets recognized outside the app.

Do I need the App, CityCoach and Coach Education separately?

The App and CityCoach share one subscription, CityCoach is an add-on on Base/Plus and included in Pro. Coach Education is separate: individual courses you book on their own, whether or not you use the App.
