Greater Purpose
15-17 August 2025

WHAT WE DO IS BIGGER THAN TEACHING THE X'S AND O'S OF OUR PARTICULAR SPORT, WE TEACH THE Y'S OF LIFE THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF ATHLETIC COMPETITION.
The conference will feature speakers from the world of sports. Scroll down for history and highlights from the 2nd conference from January 2024.
Come back here for further updates about the 3rd CGP conference in August 2025 to held at Frankfurt International School (FIS).
The Coaching for a Greater Purpose (CGP) Alliance.
The alliance is a group of five schools who have agreed to support the creation of a recurring coaches conference aimed at international school coaches. The following four schools have made a commitment to support the conference and act as hosts in a rotation schedule:
​
International School of Brussels (ISB)
International School of Düsseldorf (ISD)
American School London (ASL)
Frankfurt International School (FIS)
​
By bringing coaches from across Europe together the alliance aims to help raise the level of coaching and to provide coaches with an opportunity to forge relationships “across enemy lines”.
​
The concept of “greater purpose” is a way to put to words the desire to create opportunities for coaches to learn about how they can make an impact on their players, teams, communities, and the world beyond. Sports can be a powerful tool for leveraging change and having a positive impact on young people so it seemed very clear from the start that this should be the focus of this conference.
​
The CGP Conference will rotate from one school in the alliance to another every eighteen months. By rotating hosts the hope is that the conference has a fresh perspective and a geographical shift that provides some equity in terms of costs and travel requirements.
1st CGP Conference: August 2022 hosted by ISB - Keynote Speaker: John O'Sullivan
2nd CGP Conference: January 2024 hosted by ISD
3rd CGP Conference: 15-17 August 2025 to be proudly hosted at Frankfurt International School
