Coaching Science

Coaching is NOT about drills.

Coaching is about designing learning experiences.

Pedagogy

Sport coaching pedagogy is the science and art of how coaches help others learn.

It’s not just what we coach, it’s how we coach it.

Everyone can set drills.

Coaches can explain why that drill, for that person, at that time.

A Sports Coach

When most people think of a sports coach, they picture:

  • Shouting instructions from the sidelines

  • Running endless sprints

  • Correcting every mistake on the spot

That is a small part of some coaching approaches.
