What is B1 Coaching

You don’t study a professional academy. You work inside one.

Most coaching education puts you in a classroom and sends you back to your club to figure it out. B1 Coaching works differently. Every course takes place inside an active B1 program in Barcelona or Dubai. You don’t study how a professional academy operates. You work inside one.

Real sessions. Real athletes. Real decisions. The methodology applied every day, in front of you, alongside coaches who use it as their working standard. Whether you are at the start of your coaching career or looking to deepen an established practice, B1 Coaching is structured around where you are now and where you need to go next.

  • You learn how to plan training cycles, how to observe athletes with precision, and how to give feedback that actually produces change.
  • You leave with a practical framework for designing and delivering sessions at a professional standard, and a written assessment of your own development.
