Coaching Skills & Roles
The Coaching Strategy
describes the role of the sports
coach as one that "enables the
athlete to achieve levels of
performance to a degree that
may not have been possible if
left to his/her own
endeavours".
According to Dyson during the
19th session of the International
Olympic Academy, Greece
1979"the wise coach develops not
only the fullest physical potential
in his charges, but also those
capacities and habits of mind and
body which will enrich and
ennoble their later years".
Coaching Process
The coaching process divides into three
main areas:
1. Planning,
2.conducting
and
3.evaluating
Coaching Roles
The role of the sports coach is to create
the right conditions for learning to
happen and to find ways of motivating
the athletes. Most athletes are highly
motivated and therefore the task is to
maintain that motivation and to
generate excitement and enthusiasm.
The roles that you will find you
undertake as a coach will be many and
varied and you will find at some stage
in your coaching career that you will
be:
Coaching Roles
Advisor
Advising on the
training to be
conducted and
suitable kit and
equipment.
Coaching Roles
Assessor
Assessing
performance in
training and in
competition.
Coaching Roles
Chauffeur
Transporting them to
sporting events if
parents or family are
unavailable to take
them.
Coaching Roles
Counselor
Resolving emotional
problems on the basis
that sharing anxieties can
be both relieving and
reassuring.
Coaching Roles
Demonstrator
Demonstrate to the
athletes the skill you
require them to perform.
To achieve this it is
important that you also
keep fit.
Coaching Roles
Friend
Over the years of working with an athlete a
personal relationship is built up where as
well as providing coaching advice you also
become someone, a friend, who they can
discuss their problems or share their
success with. It is important to keep
personal information confidential because if
you do not then all respect the athlete had
for you as a friend and coach will be lost.
Coaching Roles
Facilitator
Identify suitable
competitions for them to
compete in to help them
achieve their overall
objectives for the year.
Coaching Roles
Fact finder
Gathering data of
national and
international chess
results and to keep
abreast of current
training techniques.
Coaching Roles
Fountain of knowledge
This may be part of the advisor
role in that you will often be
asked questions on any sporting
event, events that were on the
television, diet, sports injuries
and topics unrelated to their
sport.
Coaching Roles
Instructor
Instructing in the
skills of their
sport.
Coaching Roles
Mentor
When players attend training sessions
you are responsible, to their parents
and family, for ensuring that they are
safe and secure. You have to monitor
their health and safety whilst training
and support them should they have any
problems or sustain any injuries.
Coaching Roles
Motivator
Maintain the
motivation of all the
athletes the whole
year round.
Coaching Roles
Organizer and planner
Preparation of training
plans for each player and
organize attendance at
meetings and coaching
clinics
Coaching Roles
Supporter
Competition can be a very nerve
racking experience for some players
and often they like you to be around
to help support them through the
pressures. Role of a 'Friend' and
perhaps 'Counselor' come in here to.
4 Cs for Successful Athletes
1. Concentration
This is the mental quality to focus
on the task in hand. If the athlete
lacks concentration then their
athletic abilities will not be
effectively or efficiently applied
to the task.
2. Confidence
Confidence results from the
comparison an athlete makes
between the goal and their ability.
The athlete will have self-confidence
if they believe they can achieve their
goal. (Comes back to a quote of mine
- "You only achieve what you
believe").
3. Control
An athlete's ability to
maintain control of their
emotions in the face of
adversity and remain positive
is essential to successful
performance.
4. Commitment
Sports performance depends on
the athlete being fully committed
to numerous goals over many
years. In competition with these
goals the athlete will have many
aspects of daily life to manage.
Vital role in how well an
athlete will perform under
pressure
1. Expectations you place on
yourself about winning
2. Pressure to live up to the

expectations from others (coach,
parents, fans) to succeed
pressure
3. Thoughts underlying the fear
of failure, such as having your
hard work not pay off
4. Pressure to perform well or
lose your place on the team
pressure
5. Pressure not to blow the game
and not feel embarrassed
6. Pressure to perform perfectly

and not make any mistakes

them through this stage

allow players to set goals accordingly

undue stress on growing bones

when planning sessons
Why do Teachers coach?

classroom (gymnasium, oval, swimming pool, rice
field …)
