The bigger picture
Our Mission
Coaches teach things that can’t be defined in a curriculum nor measured in a standardized test. Our mission is to help coaches find success on and off the field through partnerships with professional associations and publishers who create content for coach professional development.
The Bigger Picture
MyCoachingTree is a valuable set of tools for coaches that can’t be found together anywhere else. But there is a larger mission behind what we do. Coach D.W. Rutledge and others talk about the bigger picture behind the success of MyCoachingTree and how we’ll support the influence coaches have for generations to come.
Why Did You Become a Coach?
Coaching isn’t a job – it’s a calling. Hear from coaches in their own words what inspired them to become a coach. If you’re a coach – add your story to our list and inspire other coaches. It’s easy to do from your phone or computer and there’s nothing to install.
Invest - Be a Part of Our Success
We’ve spent the last 3 years in Texas refining our business model and now we’re raining money to expand worldwide. Join lead investors from amongst the professional, college and high school coaches that have already invested, and be a part of our success – for as little as a few hundred dollars.
