Founded by former NHL player Mike Weaver and NHL goalie coach Robb Tallas, CoachThem was created by coaches who understood the everyday challenges of planning effective practices.
What started as a simple idea to make drill creation faster and easier has grown into a complete sports coaching platform designed to help coaches organize practices, collaborate with staff, and manage their coaching resources all in one place.
At CoachThem, we believe coaching tools should make life easier, not more complicated. Every feature of our sports coaching platform is designed with simplicity, efficiency, and real coaching experience in mind. From creating drills to sharing practice plans, CoachThem helps coaches spend less time preparing and more time developing their players.
Whether you coach at the professional, amateur, or volunteer level, CoachThem gives you the tools to stay organized, connected, and ready for every practice.
Our mission is to provide coaches with a simple, reliable sports coaching platform that helps them create better practices, stay organized, and spend more time developing athletes.
