Marco Molleman

Coach, trainer, and builder of environments

Marco focuses on and creates healthy environments that have proven to be successful.

He's an NLP Master Practitioner, a certified professional coach and a high-performance sports coach who has also sat on the governance side of the sport, which is a rarer combination than it sounds. It means he's watched the same problem from the field, from the coaching staff, and from the room where the budget gets decided, and knows how differently it looks from each perspective.

His toolkit includes Bruce Tuckman's work on group dynamics, which he's extended rather than simply applied. In his season planning model for sports coaches, he added a phase to Tuckman's sequence, filling a gap that shows up in a sporting season but not in the original research.

The model is laid out as a project, and that's deliberate. Thanks to the model's project-based structure, it offers reference points and practical tools that ensure both the authenticity of the process and its manageability.

The method is built on connection. The person, the athlete, sits at the centre, in a climate where growth and performance are built to last rather than to peak once.

That latter part is the whole aim. Anyone can get a result out of a group for one season. The question Marco works on is what's left standing the season after.
