In the mid 1990’s the U.S. Coaching Coalition was formed by sport organization leaders to discuss coaching and coach education in the United States.  Over the years this informal group distilled down to the coaching education leaders from within the United States Olympic Committee, National Collegiate Athletic Association, National Federation of State High School Associations, SHAPE America (previously AAHPERD) and the National Strength and Conditioning Association, who met annually to discuss key issues in the field. One of the core efforts of the U.S. Coaching Coalition has been the hosting of the National Coaching Conference (NCC).  In 2017, the U.S. Coaching Coalition put on the 20th annual NCC at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia on May 22-24, 2017.
