The paper

About & editorial standards

Coach Affairs covers the coaching profession as a profession — business, life, spiritual, technology and sports practice — for the people inside it and the people who hire them.

Standards

We link and credit. We never rewrite.

A story we curated keeps the publisher's own headline, exactly as they wrote it, and the link takes you to them. We do not reproduce, summarise, paraphrase or re-headline anyone's reporting. What we add is the choosing, the desk and market it is filed under, and the order of the day — not a restatement of work that is not ours.

You can always tell whose work you are reading.

Anything Coach Affairs reported ourselves carries our mark and a named byline. Anything we curated names the publisher and links to them. Blogs are signed argument and never run in the news column. Three kinds of thing, three treatments, visible before you read a word.

Corrections are published, not quietly patched.

A correction that changes the meaning of a story appears at the foot of it with the date and what changed. Typos we simply fix.

No paid placement, anywhere.

Not in the news column, not in the blogs, and above all not in the ranking. Sponsorship, when it arrives, will be disclosed and will not touch editorial selection.

The ranking shows its inputs.

Every score sits next to the signals that produced it, and any ranked coach can see and dispute their own inputs. A ranking you cannot interrogate is advertising.
