About us

We launched Coach by Heja to provide content that resonates with the unsung heroes of youth sports: volunteer coaches. You. The busy men and women giving up weeknights and weekends, allowing your children and everyone else's to access to the massive, lifelong benefits of being part of a sports team!

Sport helps children make friends, build foundations for healthy lifestyles, and even get better results in school. But that's impossible without the coach.

We know volunteer coaches are most often good-willed parents learning on the job. Sound familiar? Then the content on Coach by Heja is made for you.

We noticed a gap in coaching resources available online, which often targets professional coaches instead of volunteers - but they work in completely different worlds.

On Coach by Heja you'll find tips and tricks, handy resources like coaching templates and printables, and knowledge-sharing articles written by fellow coaches who want to pass on what they've learned.

If you've got something to share, we welcome your contributions too.

We're here to help you on your volunteer coaching journey. To get in touch, shoot me an email at laurie.bell@heja.io. I'm Coach by Heja's editor, as well as a soccer player and coach myself, and I'd be happy to hear from you.

All the best,

Laurie and the Heja Team
