The Nashville Coaching Coalition (NCC) is a non-profit coaching development organization based in Brentwood, Tennessee, serving coaches in the greater Nashville area. Its purpose is to “develop full-hearted coaches who prepare young people for life.” The organization works at the intersection of youth athletics and personal development, holding that “youth athletics provides the most strategic opportunity to help young people be mentally and emotionally prepared for life.” NCC equips coaches, supports youth, and works to shift sport culture toward valuing people over performance.
Services
NCC focuses on the long-term development of coaches through community, training, and reflective practice. Its programs and offerings include:
- Coach training and professional development
- Book study groups
- Process groups, which provide peer support and reflection
- An academy curriculum focused on the emotional and social development of athletes
- Community building that connects coaches with one another
Rather than offering quick fixes, the organization takes a process-oriented, long-term approach. Coaches are guided through a four-step transformation process: Open, recognizing that personal growth improves coaching; Engage, developing self-awareness; Experience, drawing on peer-community support; and Encourage, leading intentionally with depth. The organization emphasizes emotional intelligence over IQ and grounds its work in a supportive peer community.
About
The Nashville Coaching Coalition is built around the belief that coaches have a unique opportunity to teach young people that they belong and matter for who they are, not for how they perform. Its vision is a world where athletics teaches every child that they belong and matter, summarized by the guiding idea of “People > Performance.” The organization’s core values are Courage, taking risks with heart; Wholeness, valuing all aspects of self and others; Authenticity, being who you say you are; Community, treating relationships as change-agents; and Innovation, rejecting the status quo. Through these values, NCC aims to develop emotionally healthy coaches who in turn create healthier experiences for the young athletes they lead.
