Company Overview

Established in 2017, Better Sports Coach Ltd is based in The Heath Business Park, Runcorn, and we are soon to launch our new and innovative website delivering video-based sports specific education and information.

BetterSportsCoach.com will provide expertise in Sport Science, Sports Coaching, and Health and Fitness knowledge in one convenient place, and available to a global sporting audience. With all video’s broken down and delivered in bite sized pieces of learning for easier consumption, subscribers will be able to learn whatever they want, at a time and place of their choosing for a cost-effective monthly subscription, allowing both sports professionals and enthusiasts greater control over their personal and career development.

Housing sixteen ‘libraries’ of information, each covering a wide range of topics, BetterSportsCoach.com will be the leading online learning platform, supporting anyone with an interest in Sports Coaching, Sports Science, Sports Medicine, and Health and Fitness to achieve their goals and personal aspirations. Through individual, corporate, and academic subscriptions and licenses, members will have full access to a vast video library of high-quality courses and information, delivered in convenient bite sized pieces of learning, and presented by experts in their chosen field.

As part of its core offering, BetterSportsCoach.com will produce thousands of bite sized videos, written content, infographics, still images, and many other forms of content that can be used to market the service to a global audience.
