Learn How to Become a Successful Player-Coach

Create world-class business leaders using a proven system and see the results. Fast.
 
Inspirational and practical leadership training with Andrew Sillitoe – elite sports coach and experienced recruitment trainer.
 
At the core of a thriving Player-Coach are five essential leadership skills that make them “vital” (the key to unlocking business growth):

01
The Game Plan

Player-Coaches clearly understand the goal when asked, "What is your game plan?". If you can't articulate your goal and roadmap effectively, then it's game over.

02
The Bench Coach

The hallmark of a great Player-Coach is creating a high-performance environment. It's not enough to manage; you need to coach in the moment, deliver concise feedback, and inspire action.

03
The Trainer

Too many recruitment leaders fall into the trap of lecturing instead of training. Player-Coaches know that real learning happens when consultants are engaged and challenged.

04
The Mentor

Being a great recruiter is no longer enough. To be an inspirational Player-Coach, you must go beyond performance metrics and become a mentor who truly guides and supports your consultants.

05
Stay in the Zone

Nothing great was ever achieved in a comfort zone. Player-coaches don't just react to challenges - they embrace them as opportunities. They stay composed under pressure and make decisive moves when it matters most.

Master these five skills, and you’ll become the driving force behind both your personal success and the growth of your business.

Our belief is simple. Doing is improving.

That’s why our training is practical and participative.
 
Group discussions, interactive activities, application of vital skills, and time-bound projects are all tailored to your business goals.

STRAIGHT TALKING. PLAIN ENGLISH. NO FLUFF.

A practical approach that blends proven techniques from elite sports training and real-world business.

Don’t just take our word for it

I found the Player-Coach programme extremely engaging and very enjoyable. Above all else, it provided me with a comprehensive toolkit for driving myself and my team forward. I would strongly recommend the course.
LUKE CUNLIFFE
Director, Thor Companies
The dynamics of our teams changed, and managers now help each other with all sorts of issues, we are now an aligned brand with one culture rather than selfish competing teams; of course we still compete on numbers, but our priority is us all doing well.
