Abstract
This article provides an overview of how coach educators influence meaningful behavior change in sports coaches. Drawing upon the extant research, we outline gaps in the literature before reviewing key factors that influence behavior change in sport coaches. The framework for this article provides examples of five specific hypotheses, including: H1 : Ensure coach education programs are structured and sequenced; H2 : Coach characteristics drive behaviors: H3 : Behavior change is more likely to occur when coaches understand the impact of their behavior: H4 : The learning environment must align with needs of coaches; and H5 : Delivering and receiving feedback appropriately informs coach education practice. We include evidence of how an experienced coach educator influences meaningful behavior change in sports coaches. We conclude with recommendations for sport coach development programs and future researchers.
