Coaching Agreement Template

Coaching agreements need to cover practical logistics — session cadence, cancellation policy, fees — but the clause that matters most is the one most coaches forget: a clear statement that results depend on the client's own effort, not a guarantee from the coach. This template includes that disclaimer alongside standard scope, payment, and confidentiality terms, protecting coaches from the 'it didn't work so I want a refund' conversation before it happens.

No Guarantee of Results
