Most performance coaches are exceptional at the work inside the room. What nobody prepares them for is everything outside it — how to build a reputation, navigate organisations, earn sustainable income, and lead at a level the job actually demands. Coaching Compass exists for that gap. Hosted by Caleb Cousens — 20 year career spent supporting performance coaches and building businesses around them — each episode goes deep with practitioners who have built something real in sport and esports.
