Ongoing research is attempting to specify realistic learning outcomes related<br />
to coaches’ knowledge, competence and values. The alignment of qualifications<br />
among national federations, government organisations and international<br />
federations will assist in providing clear options, pathways and recognition for<br />
coaches. The education, development and certification of coaches are addressed<br />
in chapters 6 and 7.<br />
KNOWLEDGE AREAS<br />
As well as displaying functional competence, coaches<br />
need to have underpinning knowledge and<br />
insights to guide their decisions and actions.<br />
Jean Côté and Wade Gilbert 1 identify three<br />
interrelated categories of coaching knowledge<br />
(see figure 5.2).<br />
The current framework uses a modified<br />
<strong>version</strong> of this classification to put forward<br />
key knowledge bases coaches need to draw<br />
from to fulfil the tasks and related competences<br />
relevant to their coaching roles.<br />
