Choose the format
Discuss your experience and the type of support you are considering.
Know the space before you begin.
A practical introduction to choosing a session, arriving and asking useful questions.

There is no need to guess how the setting works. A clear introduction should help you understand what happens before, during and after the first session.

Before you begin
Ask about the format you are considering. The coach can explain the session and whether an introduction would be useful.
Share your goals and experience, then discuss the format and availability that might suit you.
Talk through equipment, clothing, access and information the coach needs before you attend.
