Wenzel Coach Selection Process:
Each Wenzel Coaching coach goes through a three-part interview process, a qualification and reference check, and must meet standards of coaching and event experience, education, communication skills, organization, motivation, and leadership. They then receive further training in the philosophies, programs, processes and customer service of Wenzel Coaching.

Wenzel Coaches are committed to coaching long term and have committed the time to full or part time coaching work. In fact, a number of our coaches are people who once started out as athletes on Wenzel programs for many years and believed in the programs so much that they applied to become Wenzel coaches! Only full coaches in our program are assigned clients to ensure that the quality and standards of our programs remain high. Intern and resident coaches are not assigned clients by Wenzel Coaching.

If you are a coach who is interested in joining our coaching team, please see our Job Opportunities page.

If you are looking to contact one of our coaches for reasons than program/coaching interest, please contact info@wenzelcoaching.com and do not use the coach finder form.
