Get paid to coach
what you know.

You bring the coaching. We bring the athletes, take the payment upfront, and keep the admin off your plate — so the only thing left to do is turn up and teach.

How it works

Three steps to your first
paying athlete

  1. 1

    Create your profile

    Tell us what you coach, where, and what you charge. Add your qualifications and a showcase video if you have them — both carry weight with athletes deciding who to book.

  2. 2

    Get reviewed and verified

    Our team checks every profile before it goes live. Submit your ID and qualification documents and you carry a verified badge on your card and profile — the thing athletes filter for.

  3. 3

    Get booked, get paid

    Athletes find you, book a slot and pay upfront. The money is held safely until the session has happened, then it is yours to claim.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

What does it cost to join CoachDiscover?

Nothing to join, and nothing monthly. We take 5% commission from your session fee, and only on sessions you actually get paid for — if nobody books you, you pay us nothing. Athletes pay a separate service fee of 15% on top of your price, which does not come out of your earnings.

How and when do I get paid?

The athlete pays when they book, and the money is held in escrow until the session has taken place. Once sessions are complete you claim them from your payouts screen, which sends the request to our team to dispatch. You are never waiting on an athlete to remember to pay you.

Who decides my rate?

You do, and you can change it whenever you want. You can also sell session packs at a lower price per session if you would rather have athletes commit to a block than book one at a time.

Do I have to be qualified or certified?

How CoachDiscover works

CoachDiscover is a booking and payments marketplace connecting athletes with independent sports coaches. Coaching is delivered by the coach, not by CoachDiscover; payments are held in escrow and released once your session is complete.

    What you get

    Your back office, handled

    We bring you the athletes

    Your profile is listed in search by sport, level and location, ranked on rating, distance and what you have open. Athletes come to you already knowing your price.

    Your calendar is the booking form

    Publish the slots you want to teach. Athletes book them directly and the slot closes itself — no double-bookings, no confirming by text.

    The money is handled

    Athletes pay when they book. Funds sit in escrow until the session is done, then you claim your completed sessions and we pay them out.

    Enquiries and messages in one place

    Questions before booking, and conversations after it, live in your dashboard instead of scattered across three apps and your personal number.

    Sell blocks, not just one-offs

    Offer session packs at a lower price per session. Athletes commit to several at once, which is steadier work for you.

    A waitlist that fills your gaps

    When a booked slot frees up, athletes waiting on it are told immediately — so a cancellation has a chance to become a booking.

    Where you stand

    Built so you are not the one taking the risk

    The awkward parts of coaching independently — getting paid, being let down last minute, proving you are the real thing — are the parts the platform is designed around.

    You are paid for work you have done

    The athlete pays upfront and the money is held in escrow. It is released against completed sessions, so you are never coaching on a promise.

    Late cancellations still pay you

    Cancel more than 48 hours out and the athlete is refunded the session fee. Inside 48 hours it is non-refundable — the slot you held is protected.

    Verification that means something

    Every profile is reviewed before it can be found or booked, and ID and qualification documents are checked by a person. That is what the badge on your profile is worth.

    Ratings only from real sessions

    Only an athlete who completed a paid session with you can review you. Nobody who never booked can touch your rating.

    You do not need a specific certification to create a profile, but every profile is reviewed by our team before it can be found or booked. If you upload identity and qualification documents and they are approved, you carry a verified badge and your approved credentials are shown on your profile — which is what most athletes look for when choosing between coaches.

    What happens if an athlete cancels?

    If they cancel more than 48 hours before the session, the session fee is returned to them. Inside 48 hours it is non-refundable, so a late drop-out does not cost you the slot you held open. If you have to cancel, the athlete is compensated in full.

    How much of my time does this take?

    You open only the slots you want to teach, and you can close them again at any point. There is no minimum number of sessions, no obligation to accept a booking window you have not published, and no penalty for teaching one week and not the next.

    Can I coach online as well as in person?

    Yes. You can offer in-person sessions at your venue, online sessions, or both — bookings, payment and scheduling work the same way for either.

    Can I bring my existing athletes with me?

    Yes, and many coaches do. Send them your profile link and they can book and pay through the platform, which means their sessions, payments and reminders are handled the same way as any new athlete you pick up here.

    Your first athlete is out there

    Creating a profile is free and takes a few minutes. You choose your rate, your sport and your hours — we will handle the rest.
