CHGConnect - Built for coaches of the girls game

For coaches of girls' teams

Coaching girls is different.

And you already know that.

It's the belonging. The confidence. The quiet ones and the loud ones. The different needs sitting inside the same squad — and reading when a girl's starting to drift before she's gone.

Nobody hands you the tools for that side of it.

So I built them.

A note from me

I've been in this game a long time — both as a player and a coach. I played at a good level, shared a pitch with players who went on to wear the England shirt, then found my way back to grassroots after a serious injury that could have ended it. Sport's given me a lot, and I started Champion Her Game to give something back to the girls coming up behind me.

But the more I did — Champion of the Month, Coaches Corner, talking to coaches every week — the more one thing jumped out at me. Everyone's trying to keep girls in the game, and almost nobody's supporting the people who actually can: the coaches. So I built something for us.

Imagine knowing how every girl really feels.

Imagine getting your players' honest perspective in real time — and not just the ones who tell you. The ones who don't. The ones who go quiet, and then quietly drop out.

Imagine real feedback after a session — before the background conversations start and a bit of negativity turns into wildfire.

You know that telling a girl what she did well is what keeps her coming back. Keeps her at training. Keeps her reliable for matches. But there isn't time to speak to every player after every game — as much as you want to.

You're a volunteer. However much you care, it simply isn't possible on your own. We see that. We feel it.

So here's what it actually does

CHGConnect works quietly alongside how you already coach — helping you notice, recognise and remember, so the things that matter don't slip past.

Connect with the whole team

You can't speak to every player, every session. CHGConnect gives players across your squad a simple way to have their say — without needing 15 individual conversations.

Take action early

Attendance drops. Engagement feels off. CHGConnect helps you spot the signals, ask the questions and understand the player perspective before deciding what to do.

Make sure every player knows she was seen

Parents watch one player. You're watching everyone. Recognition helps make sure every player gets something directly from you — not just the obvious standouts.

Know the player behind the shirt

What she wants from the season. What builds her confidence. How she likes feedback. Somewhere useful to come back to when you need it.

  • ●Quick team check-ins — anonymous questions that show you how the group is really feeling.
  • ●Player recognition — an easy way to make sure every girl gets a note from you. For a player, that alone can mean everything.
  • ●Team insights — see how things are trending over the season, and get a nudge when attendance slips.
  • ●Player profiles — a place to remember what matters to each girl and how she likes to be coached.
  • ●A quiet way to ask for a chat — so a player who needs you can reach out, in her own time.

That's the gap CHGConnect fills. Five minutes of your time, instead of hours of guessing.

It saves you time, hands you the insight, and helps you keep your squad engaged, active and growing.

What it isn't

It won't tell you how to coach. It won't pile more admin onto an already busy volunteer role.

It's built by a coach, for coaches — around the real world of grassroots girls' sport.

Founding coaches

I'm looking for a few coaches to go first.

CHGConnect is built and ready for your squad today. I'm not looking for people to test it — I'm looking for coaches who'll use it for real, make it part of their season, and be part of where it goes next.

As a founding coach:

  • ★You're first — in from the very start, using it with your squad from day one.
  • ★A direct line to me — you talk to me personally, not a support inbox.
  • ★Your voice shapes what's next — as you use it, you tell me where you'd take it. Not what's wrong — where it could go.
  • ★Recognised as a founder — you're one of the first faces of this, and I won't forget who backed it early.

All I ask back: actually use it with your squad, and be honest with me as you go. That's it.

Apply

Fancy being one of them?

There are only a small number of founding places — because this only works if I can properly engage with each of you. Tell me a bit about you and I'll come back to you personally.
