Abstract

ABSTRACT To help athletes be successful, strength and conditioning (S&C) coaches must be knowledgeable in and able to apply exercise science and interpersonal strategies for teaching athletes. Research suggests S&C coaches' education usually does not include information about pedagogical practices. The purpose of this article is to suggest pedagogical methods that will encourage the growth of lifelong learning skills and provide optimal opportunities for performance development. We propose implementing effective coaching behaviors and pedagogical practices into S&C that incorporate foundational coaching psychology principles (strengthening the coach-athlete relationship, empowering the athlete, and developing problem-solving skills) and sound pedagogical methods (questioning and video feedback).
