TCC Staff Pathway

A year of mentorship with BirdBox staff for coaches who want to develop towards working with The Coaches Course: on our seminars, in our mentorship or on our programming.

Start your applicationFree to apply · five places in the first intake

Who it is for

Coaches anywhere in the world who have completed TCC Level 1 and want to develop as coaches and coach educators. Any other BirdBox courses you have done count in your favour. The first intake has five places, and we will confirm dates with you.

As you progress, how well you can perform the movements we teach on TCC is also part of what we look at. You do not need to send movement videos to apply.

Where we bring in new staff depends on where our courses are growing. If we are not taking on staff in your region yet, the mentorship year still develops you, and you are part of the group we recruit from when we are.

How it works

  1. Apply (free)Send a 10 to 15 minute video of your coaching, your CV, your coaching philosophy, your education and experience, a written piece and a reference.
  2. AssessmentNathan reviews every application himself, and may invite you to a call. If you are not accepted this time, you get feedback and a plan of courses and study to strengthen your next application. You can apply again after six months.
  3. The mentorship yearTwelve months going into the depth behind TCC: why we coach the way we do, how we coach, and the education behind the information we give coaches.
  4. Intern, assist, leadAs you progress, you may be brought in as an intern on a TCC course. You shadow an assistant coach and learn that role directly. Your travel and accommodation are covered. Staff roles are offered by selection as they open.

As roles open, we select from this group on the coaching and progress you show through the year. A place on the pathway is the route in, not a guarantee of a role.

  • How we coach: the methods, decisions and language you see on the course
  • The information we give coaches, and the education and evidence that support it
  • Each month, a one-to-one call with your BirdBox mentor, a group call with your intake and video review of your coaching
