Why Coach Developers Choose Team8 People

Click any point to expand.

CoachDISC and the Coach 360 were built for coaches, by people with real coach development experience. Written in the language coach developers and coaches actually use, with applied strategies that translate directly to coach education contexts, mentoring conversations, and coach cohort development.

The CoachDISC, Coach 360, and Team8 People coach development methodology are underpinned by three decades of applied practice with coaches globally — from Olympic and professional programs through to grassroots and youth coach education.

You wouldn’t design a coach education program as a single two-day intensive, so we don’t structure our accreditation that way either. DISC Accreditation is delivered the way coach development actually works — spaced over time, structured around your program calendar, using the assessments with real coaches during the training, and ongoing mentoring well beyond when the formal training ends.

We genuinely value our relationship with our clients and believe our success lies in the success of the coaches you develop. Which is why we’ll never surprise you with hidden fees or paywalls to access resources.

  • No annual reaccreditation, licensing, or hidden administration fees.
  • No paywall between you and the facilitation resources you need to actually use the assessments effectively.
  • No additional costs for supporting capabilities like team dynamic reporting or the DISC AI Coach.

 

Once accredited, the only things you’ll pay for are the individual assessments you need, at your exclusive wholesale pricing. Everything else is included as part of our service and support.

Team8 People was founded by Bo Hanson — four-time Olympic representative for Australia, and someone who has spent the past three decades developing coaches across professional, collegiate, Olympic, and national programs worldwide. Coach development is core to what we do, not adjacent to it.

One accreditation. Six DISC variants. Four 360 reviews. One EI 360. Whether you develop coaches across multiple sports, governing bodies, or academic contexts — the same methodology adapts across every coach development environment. The toolkit that grows with your coach development practice.

What our clients say

Hear from a coach developer using Team8 People

“The coaches saw how powerful it is to understand the makeup of their team and those around them. The a-ha moment could be like, ‘Oh, that’s why you get the way you get when I approach you in this manner. It doesn’t work very well for you, so I’m going to try a different style next time because that’s just how you might respond better.’ There were a lot of moments like that where I think people made the connection of like how to take this and put it into practical use with each other, which was the whole point and was great to see. I think that was a huge positive piece of the course.”

Danielle McNamara, Former Director of Coach Education, Intercollegiate Tennis Association

“In the past, I have been involved in seminars where communication and leadership styles have been workshopped, however not to the same length and detail as the CoachDISC profiling. I found it extremely valuable and eye-opening.”

“We chose to incorporate the CoachDISC Profile because we thought it complemented the curriculum and would add value to the course. The feedback we have received from students has resoundingly confirmed that this was the right choice. Many students often comment that they were cynical of the value of the CoachDISC prior to the course, but after completing it found it very useful in reflecting on and improving their coaching and personal interactions.”

“In preparing students for a career in sports leadership, Athlete Assessments’ Sports ManagerDISC Profile is a cornerstone tool in our students’ development of self-understanding, enhanced collaboration skills for team project, and effective communication strategies to engage with various stakeholders on the job. Bo and Liz provide a valuable service beyond the DISC profile assessment. Their facilitation of customized sessions with students over Skype, resource explanations through video introductions, and creative strategies for maximizing the use of DISC with our students have enriched it’s place in our graduate program curriculum. What I appreciate most is their deep understanding and passionate commitment to the application of DISC in developing responsive, effective sport leaders.”

“At the University of Northern Colorado it’s all about application… Self-awareness is the fundamental building block to building a true coaching philosophy and then throughout the development process as a coach… Through the CoachDISC and guest lectures with Liz, the partnership helps me provide the opportunity for my students to begin to build a foundation for their coaching philosophy and coaching behaviors (and style). This is their first chance to self-reflect within the context of coaching and Athlete Assessments helps facilitate their early growth and development as an effective coach.”
