How to Get an Edge Coach
Our coach selection process has been designed to make sure you are paired with a coach that you are excited about and comfortable with. Here’s how it works.
STEP 1
Contact Us
To get an Edge Coach, all you do is contact us. If you are under 18 years of age, your parents will participate in all phases of the application process. If you are 18 years and older, it is expected that you take the initiative for selecting your own coach and that your parents take a supportive but secondary role.
STEP 2
Our Coach Matchmaker Goes to Work
Our coach matchmaker, based on our conversations with you and your parents / financial guarantor, will identify three coaches based on your preferences. You and the prospective coach talk with each other (if you are under 18, both you and your parent / financial guarantor will talk with the coach), and determine whether it is a good match.
STEP 3
Select Coach
Once you have decided on the right coach, your parent / financial guarantor and you (if 18 years or older) and the coach will sign a month-to-month contract and commence coaching. Payment for services will be made directly to the Edge Foundation.
