Summary:This study examined how UK and Irish masters’ level coach education programmes cultivate learners’ coaching presence. A cross-section of coach educators and thought leaders from the UK and Ireland were interviewed regarding instructional approaches employed to cultivate learners’ coaching presence. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The three main themes and nine sub-themes produced from the data analysis suggest that although coaching presence has been proven critical to coaching outcomes, its place in graduate coach education programmes is inconsistent. Recommendations for improving consistency are discussed.
