What this guide is
Most guides to coaching are about drills. This one is about the four decisions that are too important to make in the moment. It opens with a boy who took a knock to the head, said twice that he was fine, and played on for another twenty minutes - and nothing happened, which is precisely the point, because nothing happening was luck rather than a decision. The same coach had been working with children for eight months before anybody asked whether they had been checked. Everyone assumed somebody else had. The book states no protocol, no ratio, no qualification requirement and no safeguarding standard, routing every one of those to a governing body, an insurer, or a qualified professional - and teaching the checks instead. What it does teach is how to run a session that is safe and organised, how to describe progress honestly, how to price for the two-thirds of your hours nobody sees, and what the first sentence is on the day something goes wrong.
What you get out of it
Specifics, not promises.
- Four rules covering what actually ends these businesses - and three of them protect somebody who is not you
- Why a player saying they are fine is not evidence, and why the two possible errors are not remotely comparable
- The reframe that makes safeguarding practice easy: you are not being asked whether you are trustworthy, you are being asked to make it impossible for the question to arise
- The three things to establish before your next session - and why the answer to all three is somebody other than this book
- Four boundaries that are always crossed by invitation, and one answer shape that holds all of them
- Two-thirds of your working hours are invisible, which is why a price calculated on the coaching hour pays you for a third of your work
- Officiating - the most underrated income in the trade, because it carries almost no unpaid time
- 148 AI prompts with their safety constraints written in - and not one of them asks AI whether a child is fit to continue
Ideal for
Beginners who played or still play and have been asked to help with a session, and working coaches who have never written anything down - no plan, no risk assessment, no medical forms, no policy - plus officials who have been told they need insurance and do not know what kind.
- Anyone starting a coaching or officiating side hustle.
- Working coaches who have never written a risk assessment, never read what their qualification actually authorises, or never checked what their governing body currently says about head injury.
