<strong>Coaching</strong> Competence<br />
To deliver an effective and sustained programme that meets athletes’<br />
needs, coaches are responsible for developing their capabilities in a range of<br />
areas. To do so, they should seek additional experience, extend their repertoire<br />
to new facets of the job and engage in formal and informal educational offerings.<br />
CORE CAPABILITIES<br />
<strong>Coaching</strong> capability refers to the ability of a coach to operate effectively in his or<br />
her chosen domains and roles. <strong>Coaching</strong> capability involves competency—demonstrated<br />
capability in a given context—and underpinning knowledge. It is shaped<br />
by the values of the coach. These values are reflected in everything coaches do;<br />
they include identity, mind-set, philosophy and ethical perspective. Figure 5.1<br />
illustrates the connection between all of these elements.<br />
The challenging task for coaches in developing and updating capability is made<br />
easier with support from other coaches and from organisations and federations<br />
governing the competitive structure or setting in which they operate.<br />
