AP Race Coaches Community

Our community has been created by coaches, for coaches. We are a free to access network that brings coaches together across all tiers of the sport, from around the world. We aim to encourage an open collaboration and the sharing of resources with the belief that we never stop learning. We believe coaches are the cornerstone of our sport and are committed to supporting the coaching community as best we can.

What Do We Do?

We have a range of CPDs available that are open to all coaches in our community. In 2025 we will have more than 20 CPDs available, all of which will be supported by an experienced coaching lead on the day. This will include chances to network with other coaches, share ideas, ask questions, and see world-leading practitioners face to face. You can find our currently available CPDs here:

Coaches Wellbeing Check-In

The AP Race Coaches Wellbeing Check-In provides coaches with effective monthly support for their wellbeing and mental health via a simple 3-step process;

  • 1. Check In

    Coaches get a monthly scheduled invite to check in with the GoVox Wellbeing platform on their phone, tablet, or computer. They answer a few simple, friendly questions carefully designed to flag up any concerns and that’s it! The whole process takes less than 60 seconds!

  • 2. Instant Insights

    Our wellbeing lead can instantly access Check In results on your GoVox Wellbeing Dashboard. Because each person’s feedback has their name on it, the team can see immediately who would benefit most from a helping hand.

  • 3. Effective Support

    As soon as a coach completes their Check In, they’ll get their own Personal Wellbeing Report pinged straight to their inbox. It’s based on their own responses and the content will give them a little extra help in the areas they need it most.
