The Personal Effectiveness Program
Professional Development for Sports Professionals
Especially for coaches, team managers, sports administrators & other sports professionals.
Any sporting success relies on excellence in team management, support and administration. But often all of the focus is on the athletes and the very people who provide the support and service miss out on their own professional development. Well, not any more…

Would the important people who keep your sporting organisation running smoothly benefit from the opportunity to continuously improve too?
Based on our experience with clients and feedback from top sporting organisations, we've developed a program to focus on the key areas people involved in sport struggle with. If you work in sport and want to improve your results (and enjoyment!), read on.
This one-day program cuts through to the essentials of leadership, communication and influencing skills. It covers the three most important areas of personal effectiveness: Master Communication, Understanding Yourself & Others and Resolving Conflict.
With the Personal Effectiveness Program:
- Find out the secrets of master communicators.
- Ensure fewer communication breakdowns.
- Take the guess-work out of how to connect and pitch your message successfully every time.
- Build on the solid foundation of where leadership development starts, self-awareness.
- Avoid or effectively deal with politics, conflict and challenges with confidence and ease.
- Work with an expert facilitator who knows sport. Bo Hanson, 4x Olympian and Coaching Consultant, ensures your experience is enjoyable, practical and will make a valuable difference when you go back to work.
- Network with like-minded sports professionals.
This isn't another touchy feely fluffy training program. It is stacked with real strategies that can be put into practice and get results the very next day!
Athlete Assessments has the unique background and experience, in both sport and the business world, to provide excellence in professional development for 'the business side of sport'.

Athlete Assessments' ManagerDISC & CoachDISC Profiles
For years now, our clients have benefited from the use of the CoachDISC and AthleteDISC profiles with their coaches, athletes and teams. They all agree that this has been key to developing the self-awareness you need to improve your level of emotional intelligence and understanding how your behaviour and personality impacts on your sports performances.
Aligned with our CoachDISC and AthleteDISC profiles, the ManagerDISC is a sports industry specific assessment to support managers, administrators, support staff and other sports professionals in their personal and professional development.
After completing you online survey, which takes around 10 mins, you receive an in-depth personalized ManagerDISC or CoachDISC Profile Report. It analyses your personal style, strengths and limitations and gives you tools and strategies you can start using straight away to improve your performance and personal effectiveness.
One thing that is for sure, it is never your technical expertise that holds you back. Most often, it is dealing with the people side. With this program, you will clearly identify and further develop the factors that will lift your work performance to the next level. It's specifically for the sports industry.
