Decision making in the sport setting has been an important topic of research, especially in the competitive environment where an appropriate decision from the coach or athlete can offer advantageous positioning that could make a difference between a win and a loss in a game. However, research investigating how coaches acquire and develop appropriate decision-making skills is still scarce. The purpose of this study was to investigate how and where coaches from individual sports learned their craft in decision making. Eight successful coaches aged between 28-38 years old (4 males, 4 females) with at least five years of coaching experience at the competitive level took part in this study. Thematic analysis of data from the individual interviews revealed three main sources from which coaches acquired and developed decision-making skills: (a) Past athletic experience and the understanding of game rules, (b) Personality traits such as self-reflection, resilience, and curiosity, and (c) External learning situations such as having a mentor and past coaches that provided guidance and logical thinking processes, as well as exposure to cultural norms of the sport. The results are discussed in relation to studies on expert coach development. Practical suggestions are also highlighted to facilitate the development of future coaches.
Abstract
Decision making in the sport setting has been an important topic of research, especially in the competitive environment where an appropriate decision from the coach or athlete can offer advantageous positioning that could make a difference between a win and a loss in a game. However, research investigating how coaches acquire and develop appropriate decision-making skills is still scarce. The purpose of this study was to investigate how and where coaches from individual sports learned their craft in decision making. Eight successful coaches aged between 28-38 years old (4 males, 4 females) with at least five years of coaching experience at the competitive level took part in this study. Thematic analysis of data from the individual interviews revealed three main sources from which coaches acquired and developed decision-making skills: (a) Past athletic experience and the understanding of game rules, (b) Personality traits such as self-reflection, resilience, and curiosity, and (c) External learning situations such as having a mentor and past coaches that provided guidance and logical thinking processes, as well as exposure to cultural norms of the sport. The results are discussed in relation to studies on expert coach development. Practical suggestions are also highlighted to facilitate the development of future coaches.
