Abstract
The field of sport coach development has changed considerably in the last decades and everything indicates that, in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world (VUCA world), many other changes will take place. It seems increasingly likely that ways will have to be found to harmonize on-the-job learning with the formal coach education programs from which qualifications are derived. In an attempt to analyze the present and to address some directions for the future of sport coach development research and practice, this insight paper presents the summary of a series of conversations with one of the researchers who has greatly influenced the development of sport coaches over the past 30 years, Professor Pierre Trudel.
Highlights
How sports coaches learn to coach has been an area of research for many years with a marked increase in the number of publications over the past two decades (TRUDEL; MILISTETD; CULVER, 2020)
As we live in a world that allows rapid access to a large amount of information, the active or shelf life of ‘evidence’ is becoming shorter and shorter
Michel – Pierre, the studies over the past 20 years have clearly shown that sport coaching is complex, coaches learn from different sources of knowledge, and the relative importance of which depends on many factors
Summary
How sports coaches learn to coach has been an area of research for many years with a marked increase in the number of publications over the past two decades (TRUDEL; MILISTETD; CULVER, 2020). Michel – Pierre, the studies over the past 20 years have clearly shown that sport coaching is complex, coaches learn from different sources of knowledge, and the relative importance of which depends on many factors. Michel – You just mentioned future learning situations, are you talking about the different coach education programs?
