Seventeen years of certifying parkour coaches across 50 countries has taught us things no textbook anticipated. The Coaching Journal is where we write them down. For coaches who take the discipline seriously.
We take coaching seriously. Very seriously. It’s as important a profession as law, medicine, school teaching, policing, etc… because it has the power to shape people’s lives for the better, or worse, depending on the quality of the coach. A good coach can have an enormous positive effect on a young person’s self-esteem, confidence, self-belief, even their direction in life. A bad coach can have an equally powerful, but negative, effect.
This is the coach's guiding principle, his litmus test and his raison d'etre. It must be at the centre of everything the coach does, it must underpin his choice of every method, exercise or programme.
Over many years of global coach education, the ADAPT system has distilled a set of coaching competencies that consistently matter, regardless of discipline. While parkour provided the original testing ground, the curriculum has evolved into a robust framework for developing coaches who can think, adapt, and lead - qualities increasingly essential in modern coaching roles.
