Conceptual Framework for Coaching Preparation at The Soccer School, Part 1: The Coach as Self-Directed Decision Maker

(By Kosmas Mouratidis)

 

This conceptual framework has been consistently reviewed and revised over the course of almost 25 years. Its ongoing development and evolution, as you might imagine, is largely based on my experiences as an educator with contributions from coaches and teachers I have had the privilege of working with over the years. This piece is largely derived from my tenure at Bethany College.

The aim is to prepare coaches as self-directed decision makers. The means (i.e. framework) is through successive applications of learning sets comprised of three interactive elements:

  • Candidates’ knowledge of themselves as coaches (SELF)

  • Performance-assessment learning challenges they are presented with and demonstrate achievement through (TASK)

  • Objective quantitative and narrative formative and summative evaluations of performance, and reflections on one’s own performance (IMPACT) – which leads to candidates’ new knowledge of themselves as coaches​
