“Think of the “brain” as a coaching mentor. Most of the problems, issues, questions, conflicts and challenges you will face as a coach will be discussed, debated and deliberated on on this blog”, says Goldsmith.

“My dream is that every coach in every sport will use this site as a resource and that the “brain” gives them genuine help and adds real value to their coaching. Coaching is a great profession and a rewarding passion - but it can be tough, demanding and sometimes lonely. The “Brain” is your 24 / 7 coaching mentor - always there, always available, always topical and always free”.
