How to Create a Coaching Contract?

A simple Coaching Agreement contains the following information:

1. Name and contact information of the parties.
2. Purpose of the agreement. Describe the training program the coach will provide to the student. Set the main goals of your collaboration, agree on a schedule, and define your boundaries.
3. Payment details. List all the payments, state what they cover, and when they are due.
4. Refund policy. If a student is not happy with the program, there is a possibility for them to get their money back - write down the clear terms regarding refunds to protect yourself against giving refunds for coaching services already rendered. A 30-day refund period is the most common.
5. Rescheduling policy. Set expectations about cancellations and make sure you know how to contact the other party to reschedule appointments.
6. Client's responsibilities. The coach must state that the program is developed only for educational purposes and the client bears sole responsibility for the progress and results from the coaching experience. The relationship between the coach and the client is quite similar to the relationship between a personal trainer and a student who has entered into a Personal Training Contract: the student has to be open to suggestions and feedback and must fully engage with the coaching process.
7. Termination clause. Describe in full detail the way out in the event you need to part ways with the other party.
8. Signatures of the parties. Once you sign the papers, the Coaching Agreement is legally binding, but you have every right to revisit it with the other party and refine it to keep up with possible changes depending on the circumstances.
