How these resources are made
Each resource on this site starts with publicly available coaching material — a podcast, an open gym, a talk. That material is transcribed, studied, and then distilled and reframed through one lens: what does this mean for an Australian junior or domestic coach's next session? The result is original synthesis and commentary — not a reproduction of anyone's work.
Some principles we hold to:
- Credit always. Every resource names the source it draws on, and this page lists them all.
- Short, attributed quotes only — used for education and commentary, never wholesale reproduction.
- Free and non-commercial. No sign-up, no paywall, no ads.
- Unofficial. Nothing here is affiliated with or endorsed by the people and organisations credited below.
