International Council for Coaching Excellence

HISTORY

The International Council for Coaching Excellence (ICCE) was established on 24th September 1997 by delegates representing 15 countries, during the second International Coach Education Summit held at Wingate Institute, Netanya, Israel. The idea of creating an international body to represent coaches and coaching was discussed by Uri Schaefer from Israel, Jurgen Kotzel from Germany and Sue Campbell from UK at the 1994 meeting marking the 20th anniversary of the Trainerakademie in Cologne, Germany.  It was agreed to hold an inaugural summit of coach education leaders in Leeds, UK in July 1995, organized by the National Coaching Foundation, and the participants established the initial guidelines and aims for this new organisation. The ICCE has since grown to be present in over 50 countries.

Every day around the world, tens of millions of athletes run, jump, throw, catch, swim and participate in other sport activities. And every day around the world, millions of coaches help those athletes chase their dreams. The ICCE believes that international collaboration and exchange can accelerate positive change in the realm of coaching development and help these coaches give athletes around the world a chance to pursue excellence.

THE ICCE MISSION: LEADING AND DEVELOPING SPORT COACHING GLOBALLY

The ICCE is a not-for-profit, global organization with the mission of leading and developing sport coaching globally. ICCE members seek to enhance the quality of coaching at every level of sport. Every day around the world, tens of millions of athletes run, jump, throw, catch, swim, play and participate in other sport activities. Every day around the world, millions of coaches help those athletes chase their dreams. The ICCE believes that international collaboration and exchange can accelerate positive change in the realm of coaching development and help these coaches give athletes around the world a chance to pursue excellence.

ICCE VISION: COACHES ARE DEVELOPED AND SUPPORTED BY SUSTAINABLE AND PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS

The vision of the ICCE encompasses building a global community of coaching, where coaching is recognized as a profession and where skilled, qualified coaches are available to athletes and participants regardless of gender, age and physical and mental ability. This vision depends on the commitment of our members and on the belief that working together we can all get better. A message that the late Dr. Pat Duffy, one of ICCE‘s great leaders and founders, believed in and helped us put into practice is that being an ICCE member is not only about what you get from the organization, but equally about what you bring to the organization, and that we all get stronger when we work towards our common goals.
