In the Greenhouse Lab, we explore:

1. Your Ecosystem
Before “knowing yourself,” ask: what kind of environment reveals who I really am?
Your habits, strengths, blind spots—they show up in the people you work with, the structures you operate in, and the boundaries you do (or don’t) set.
You’ll map it out. See it clearly. Then start shaping it consciously.

2. Your Role (and Real Power)
You’re not just delivering reps.
You’re shaping how athletes think, recover, and make decisions.
We’ll explore how you use your voice, your warm-ups, your plans—not to control, but to teach, adapt, and build autonomy.

3. You, the Coach and Person
Success isn’t just outcomes—it’s knowing where you thrive, where you hold impact, and where you can finally stop doing everything.
This is about coaching with clarity and leading without burning out.

what exactly is the greenhouse lab?

The Greenhouse Lab is a 10-week reflective coaching space designed to help you reset, rethink, and grow your coaching approach before the season starts. It’s the pre-season to our full Casagrande Coaching Academy launching in September.

who is this for?

Coaches, S&C specialists, and performance staff—whether you’re early in your journey or looking to reconnect with why you started. If you’re ready to think more holistically about the environments you're creating, you’re in the right place.

what is the format?

Biweekly live Zoom sessions (60–75 min), plus optional reflection tasks, coaching templates, and session replays

what if i can’t make every session?

All sessions will be recorded and made available for flexible access. However, we strongly encourage you to attend live whenever possible. The core of this series is real-time connection—engaging in discussion, asking questions, and building relationships with peers and mentors. The value of the program goes far beyond the content—it's about the community you're part of while you're here.

what happens after the 10 weeks?

The Greenhouse Lab is your entry point into the CC ecosystem. After the series, you’ll get priority access to apply for the 10-month Casagrande Coaching Academy pilot—our deeper development pathway for coaches who want to lead real change in clubs and communities.

A 10-week coaching space for curious, committed changemakers in sport. This is where coaches grow the systems they wish they worked in. Rooted in reflection, designed for action.
Welcome to the beginning.
