How The Challenge Initiative Adapted and Used Pause and Reflect Responsive Feedback Sessions for Adaptive Management in Nigeria.

The Challenge Initiative (TCI) supports state governments to effectively and sustainably scale up family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) programming in Nigeria. Given the limited evidence on successful scale-up of health interventions, TCI has established responsive feedback (RF) approaches to regularly review and reflect upon its strategies to quickly adapt and document lessons for scaling FP/RH interventions. One of the RF components adopted was pause and reflect (P&R) exercises to facilitate adaptive management. TCI conducted quarterly P&R exercises to identify what works, adapt strategies where needed, and document lessons learned. These exercises were typically conducted as focus group discussions where staff members deliberated on a topic, strategy, or action and discussed how best to refine, diffuse, or discard it. About 10-15 staff participated in each session, including country office technical advisors, state program managers, and technical leads. TCI has conducted 4 P&R exercises to date. The first P&R focused on identifying effective strategies for scaling up FP/RH interventions and led to the recognition of TCI's coaching strategy and FP in-reaches as evidence-based approaches. The second P&R focused on how to improve TCI's Reflection and Action to Improve Self-reliance and Effectiveness tool to effectively measure governments' capacity to implement FP/RH interventions. The third P&R on graduation activities of TCI's first phase states revealed best practices for planning graduation activities for its second phase states. The fourth P&R on TCI's coaching strategy showed that geographies require a more structured coaching plan to effectively manage their coaching interventions. Implementation of identified actions from the P&R exercises contributed to noticeable improvements in programming. The P&R exercise has contributed to improvements in adaptive management in TCI programming in Nigeria and is recommended for use by implementing partners, government officials, and other community stakeholders as a useful RF tool.

Increasing Teacher Opportunities to Respond in a Head Start Program Using a Bug-In-Ear Coaching Model.

Early childhood teachers play a critical role in the kindergarten readiness of preschool age children. Yet, they often receive little and insufficient training in the use of evidence-based practices that can increase academic success and prevent undesired behaviors. As a result, preschool teachers tend to use more exclusionary practices when disciplining students. A promising strategy for developing the skills of preschool teachers is the use of bug-in-ear coaching, a coaching strategy where a trained individual provides in-the-moment support to a teacher from a location outside of the classroom. This study examined bug-in-ear coaching to support preschool teachers in using opportunities to respond during explicit math instruction. A multiple baseline design across teachers was used to assess the impact of the intervention on the teachers' rates of implementation of opportunities to respond. Bug-in-ear coaching was associated with an increased rate of opportunities to respond for all teachers during the intervention with a functional relation for two out of four teachers. All teachers' rates of opportunities to respond were below their intervention rates during maintenance. Further, teachers reported enjoying the intervention and the opportunity given to improvetheir practices. Teachers also expressed their desire to have this level of coaching in their centers.

Coaches Deserve the Care and Attention They Are Nurturing in Others: exploring co-active life coaches’ perspectives on professional practise and self-care during the COVID-19 pandemic

ABSTRACT Helping professionals promote self-care amongst their clients: a proactive practise that enhances personal well-being. Yet, many struggle to engage in self-care personally which can lead to adverse health consequences and burnout. To date, little is known about helping professionals’ views on self-care as it relates to personal and professional practise: especially during a worldwide pandemic where the demand for health-oriented services is amplified. Certified Professional Co-Active Coaches (CPCCs) are poised to offer unique insights into this phenomenon given their inherent focus on enriching client well-being. The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore CPCCs’ experiences related to coaching practise and self-care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were used, and data were analysed using an inductive approach. Twelve CPCCs (10 = female) participated. Four main themes emerged: a shift in practise; changes in clients; personal self-care practises; and professional self-care practises. Therapeutic empathy and setting emotional boundaries were identified as valuable coaching strategies. Participants also highlighted the need for intentional self-care routines to care effectively for themselves and others. Taken together, these findings may be transferable to other helping professionals, training bodies, and clients through an enhanced understanding of self-care during times of crises.

Assessing the effectiveness and the mechanisms of the Social-Emotional Prevention Program for Preschoolers: Findings from a universal school-based intervention

The Social-Emotional Prevention Program (SEP) encompasses a multifaceted approach (classroom curriculum, with teacher and parent training) intended to increase preschool children's social adjustment, as well as to reduce risk of emotional and behavioral problems. The present study's focus was on implementing the technology-assisted SEP version and was aimed at (a) investigating the program's effectiveness on children's social-emotional competencies and parental practices, as well as (b) testing the program's conceptual framework, with an emphasis on children's emotion regulation (ER) skills and parental emotion socialization practices as explanatory intervention mechanisms. A randomized-controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with five schools assigned to either the intervention or to a comparison condition (wait-list control). Structural equation models (SEM) and complier average causal effects (CACE) were conducted to evaluate SEP effectiveness on teacher- and parent-rated child outcomes (primary outcomes) and parenting behaviors (secondary outcomes). Findings from the present study indicated that (a) SEP fosters increased social-emotional competencies and increased use of adaptive ER strategies, with teacher and parent ratings converging to support these outcomes; (b) parental participation in the program increased the use of reappraisal and emotion coaching strategies; and (c) children's ER mediated the intervention's effect on social competence, whereas parental coaching and parental ER mediated SEP effects on children's ER. This study's findings suggest that the SEP may be an effective universal intervention for promoting preschoolers' social-emotional competence and may provide emerging evidence to support the program's hypothesized mechanisms of change.

An Examination of Occupational Therapy Telehealth Service Delivery Among Novice Users During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic allowed for widespread implementation of telehealth as a delivery method for occupational therapy (OT) services. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of novice telehealth OT practitioners regarding telehealth as a delivery method for OT services. Quantitative data was collected through a modified version of the Telehealth Usability Questionnaire and analyzed via descriptive statistics. Qualitative data was collected by open-ended questions and analyzed via thematic analysis. OT practitioners' responses revealed four major themes: logistics of telehealth practice, role of client champions, capacity of the OT practitioner, and styles and approaches. The study revealed that OT sessions delivered via telehealth increased access to clients and continuity of services. Client champion engagement, effective coaching strategies, and practitioner flexibility supported the success of OT telehealth sessions.

Tailoring Health Coaching Strategies to Promote Middle School Student Wellness

Adolescence is a crucial period for developing social and emotional habits that are important for mental and emotional well-being. Learning how to cope, manage emotions, problem solve, and develop interpersonal skills strengthens resilience, and promotes healthy lifestyle behaviors. Various health coaching techniques can be applied to the classroom setting to promote middle school student mental, emotional, and behavioral wellness. This article provides three coaching techniques that can be tailored to the classroom, including (1) vision casting, (2) goal setting, and (3) the development of a growth mindset. Students who develop a grounded and bold vision can more easily establish goals for such a vision, which can be strengthened through the development of a growth mindset.

Sport Commitment in Student-athletes : Examining the Role of Perceived Autonomy Support, a Caring Climate, and Basic Psychological Needs

PURPOSE For student-athletes to be able to successfully dedicate themselves to training and competition, the following key factors play an important role: The coach, team climate, and individual motivational characteristics. To test this hypothesis, the structural relationships between having a perceived autonomy support, a caring climate, basic psychological needs, and sport commitment were analyzed. METHODS Participants were 297 high school athletes registered with the Korea Olympic Committee (203 males, 94 females, M<sub>age</sub> =17.88 years). Data were collected using sports climate questionnaires for autonomy support, caring climate scale, basic psychological needs scale, and sport commitment measurement. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling.RESULTS The model’s fitness was indicated by x<sup>2</sup>/df=2.797 (x<sup>2</sup>=106.288, df=38), CFI=.977, TLI=.967, RMSEA=.078 (90% CI=.061, .096). Examining the various path coefficients revealed that coach autonomy support had a positive effect on the athlete’s caring climate, basic psychological needs, and sport commitment. The caring climate had a significant effect on basic psychological needs, but did not have a statistically significant effect on sport commitment. Finally, basic psychological needs had a positive effect on sport commitment. CONCLUSIONS Coach autonomy support fosters a caring climate, and athletes who are able to perceive this are able to dedicate themselves to their sport since their basic physiological needs are met. Therefore, coaches should use appropriate coaching strategies to enhance athletes' autonomy and foster a caring climate, as both are essential factors for meeting athletes' psychological needs and promoting sport commitment.

Coaching the coach: A randomized controlled study of a novel curriculum for procedural coaching during intubation.

Videolaryngoscopy allows real-time procedural coaching during intubation. This study sought to develop and assess an online curriculum to train pediatric emergency medicine attending physicians to deliver procedural coaching during intubation. Curriculum development consisted of semistructured interviews with 12 pediatric emergency medicine attendings with varying levels of airway expertise analyzed using a constructivist grounded theory approach. Following development, the curriculum was implemented and assessed through a multicenter randomized controlled trial enrolling participants in one of three cohorts: the coaching module, unnarrated video recordings of intubations, and a module on ventilator management. Participants completed identical pre and post assessments asking them to select the correct coaching feedback and provided reactions for qualitative thematic analysis. Content from interviews was synthesized into a video-enhanced 15-min online coaching module illustrating proper technique for intubation and strategies for procedural coaching. Eighty-seven of 104 randomized physicians enrolled in the curriculum; 83 completed the pre and post assessments (80%). The total percentage correct did not differ between pre and post assessments for any cohort. Participants receiving the coaching module demonstrated improved performance on patient preparation, made more suggestions for improvement, and experienced a greater increase in confidence in procedural coaching. Qualitative analysis identified multiple benefits of the module, revealed that exposure to video recordings without narration is insufficient, and identified feedback on suggestions for improvement as an opportunity for deliberate practice. This study leveraged clinical and educational digital technology to develop a curriculum dedicated to the content expertise and coaching skills needed to provide feedback during intubations performed with videolaryngoscopy. This brief curriculum changed behavior in simulated coaching scenarios but would benefit from additional support for deliberate practice.

Coaching impact on work-family conflict and occupational stress among educational administrators in primary schools.

Many workers in developing countries have complained about poor working conditions, unhappiness, and job insecurity. As a result, irrationality in employees judgments of the dissatisfactory status of Nigerian organizational environments has been linked to deviant public employee behavior. Apparently, workers in this work environment experience job-induced hazards and distorted feelings about their occupational well-being. With that in mind, we evaluated the impact of rational-emotive occupational health coaching on work-life quality and occupational stress management among educational administrators in Nigeria. This research employed a group-randomized trial design. A total number of 70 administrators were recruited, measured with 2 measurement tools during the study. Frequency, percentage, and Chi-square statistics were employed to describe the recruited sample, and inferential (mixed model ANOVA) statistics were utilized to examine the information gathered from the participants. The result showed a significant effect of the rational-emotive occupational health coaching (REOHC) group in decreasing the perception of stress and work-family conflict management among educational administrators. Also, the study reported a significant effect of time on administrators' occupational stress and work-family conflict management. The results also indicate that administrators' occupational stress and work-family conflict coping skills had a significant influence due to group and time interaction effects. REOHC is a powerful and useful coaching strategy that improves perceptions of administrators about work-life and job stress in work environment. Based on these results, we recommend REOHC for practitioners in different works of life.

Effective College English Teaching Based on Teacher-student Interactive Model

English has become an utterly crucial device to take part in global verbal exchange and competition. It is essential to enhance English teaching's flexibility to meet the desires to improve the market economy. Therefore, powerful coaching strategies and language identification are considered challenging factors in existing methods. The proposed model includes hypothesized relationships among college students' conception of learning English, their perceptions of the study room environment, and their approaches to learning. They are examined using the Pre-trained Teacher–Student Fixed Interactive Model (PTSFIM). This model proposes a new way to develop the teaching process providing the baseline of record excellence towards a strategic performance control framework for an institute. The traditional strategies emphasize the benefits of the interactive approach and accentuate their effectiveness through Structural Multivariate Equation (SME) analysis in enhancing students' innovative thinking, research, and reasoning abilities. The reciprocal instructional analysis optimizes students' models to memorize for a longer duration. The evaluation of the study's outcomes suggests that interactive learning can assist college students that predict different results in participating inside the speech system and gain the best knowledge. The simulation analysis is performed based on accuracy, performance, and efficiency proves the reliability of the proposed framework.

Problematising current coaching strategies from a worldview perspective

Orientation: Leaders need goodness-of-fit with the context in which they are leading, and coaching is considered an effective strategy to achieve this.Research purpose: To critically problematise current dominant coaching strategies in terms of their underlying worldviews, in order to assess their potential effectiveness and relevance in enhancing context‒leadership goodness-of-fit, given the emerging context faced by leaders.Motivation for the study: The current ever-changing context of leaders requires different thinking, including with regard to coaching. The framework of the coaching landscape, with its associated building blocks, provides the conceptual framework for the review of current coaching strategies. Three dominant worldviews that have historically influenced the thinking in social sciences are employed in this review, namely Newtonian, general systems theory and complexity or chaos (second-order systemic thinking).Research approach/design and method: This was a critical conceptual study aimed at problematising the worldviews informing the currently dominant coaching strategies.Main findings: The problematising of the worldviews underlying the dominant coaching strategies revealed that these strategies are not always informed by a worldview congruent with that demanded by the qualities and features of the world that leaders currently face. There is a pressing need for a coaching strategy informed by a complexity or chaos (second-order systemic) worldview, which better meets the emerging contextual demands and requirements imposed on leaders in practice.Practical/managerial implications: A different coaching strategy, called systemic coaching, is proposed.Contribution/value-add: The proposed systemic coaching strategy is highly suitable to bringing about improved goodness-of-fit between the leader and the emerging context.

Reliability, Construct Validity and Completeness of the “Winterthur Observation Protocol” Applied to Early Intervention in Pediatric Physiotherapy Using Coaching

Aim To assess intra- and inter-rater reliability, construct validity and completeness of the “Winterthur Observation Protocol” (WOP). Methods Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were calculated with the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with 95% confidence intervals and Cohens’s kappa coefficient based on 18 5-min sequences from six video-recorded early intervention sessions rated by two assessors. Construct validity was based on an increase of coaching over time (three video-recorded sessions) in six therapists during a course on coaching techniques. WOP’s completeness – the capacity to cover at least 95% of the specific coaching strategies – was assessed based on 18 video-recorded sessions. Results Intra-rater reliability was excellent: ICCs of continuous variables varied from .87 to 1.0; the kappa-value of categorical variables was 0.90. Inter-rater reliability was sufficient to excellent: ICCs of continuous variables were .47–1.0; the kappa-value of categorical variables was .89, indicating excellent intra-rater reliability. Increasing application of coaching behavior during the course provided evidence of construct validity. More than 95% of the specific coaching strategies could be scored with the WOP. Conclusion The WOP is a promising instrument to quantify the contents of early intervention approaches in pediatric physical therapy using coaching. Results must be interpreted with caution due to limited generalizability.

Examining the importance of athletic mindset profiles for level of sport performance and coping

ABSTRACT This study examined how growth and fixed mindset beliefs coexist within athletes to form distinct Athletic Mindsets; and whether these composite mindsets differentially predict level of sport performance and athletic coping skills. Athletes in Australia (N = 281, 52% male, M age = 32.21, SD = 14.40) completed self-report questionnaires measuring mindset, athletic coping, and level of sport performance. Cluster analysis of growth and fixed belief variables identified four distinct athletic mindset profiles: High-Growth/Low-Fixed, Low Growth /Low Fixed, Low Growth /High Fixed, and High-Growth/High Fixed. Analysis revealed that athletes with a HighG/LowF mindset were more likely to participate at higher levels of sport performance than athletes with the other three mindsets, and that this predictive effect was mediated by greater athletic coping skills. These findings indicate that growth and fixed mindset beliefs coexist and interact, and that possessing a HighG/LowF mindset benefits sports performance and coping. These findings illustrate support for the use of athletic mindset profiles to predict level of sport performance and inform coaching strategies.

Considering the implementation research-to-practice gap: An experimental evaluation of intervention-general methods for assessing and supporting intervention fidelity through coaching

Implementation support through coaching—such as with embedded fidelity assessment, performance feedback, modeling, and alliance building—has been empirically supported as a way to increase and sustain interventionists' fidelity levels. However, education research consistently shows that practitioners struggle to monitor and improve interventionists' fidelity using implementation support strategies. One explanation for this type of implementation research-to-practice gap is that evidence-based coaching strategies have significant limitations with respect to their usability, feasibility, and adaptability. This study is the first to experimentally evaluate an evidence-based set of adaptable materials and procedures designed to assess and support the intervention fidelity of school-based interventions. Using a randomized multiple-baseline-across-participants design, we examined the extent to which these materials and procedures would influence intervention adherence and quality of an evidence-based reading intervention. Across all nine interventionist participants, data revealed that the implementation strategies meaningfully improved intervention adherence and quality, and high levels of intervention fidelity maintained 1 month after removing the support procedures. Findings are discussed with respect to how these materials and procedures address a critical need within school-based research and practice as well as how they may help to inform and address the implementation research-to-practice gap in education.

Effect of verbal coaching instruction on scanning activity in elite U19 female football players

Introduction
 To perform a successful action in football, players must constantly recognize the given affordances and their surroundings on the field before and during action (McGuckian et al., 2020). Therefore, having the ability to temporarily detach the view from the ball and move the head to scan the environment to identify and recognize information, could affect the quality of the subsequent action (Jordet et al., 2020). This ability might depend on players technical skills, which give a player more opportunities to exploit given affordances (Aksum et al., 2021). Explicit verbal coaching instructions are used to develop these skills in trainings and games. However, there is little evidence that support this coaching strategy.
 The aim of this study was to investigate how scanning activity without, and with instruction affect player’s performance in 4v4 elite U19 female football players. Hypotheses were: i) scan frequency is higher in more skilled players, ii) instruction leads to higher scan frequency, and iii) higher scan frequency increases the quality of the subsequent action.
 Methods
 Twenty-five (17.57 ±0.69 years) female players were recruited from two elite football clubs. All players participated twice in a 4v4 small-sided game (SSG). The first SSG was conducted with no special rules. At the beginning and during mini-breaks of the second SSG, players were instructed to constantly look away from the ball and scan the environment before the first ball touch (Jordet et al., 2020). SSG’s were video captured and will be analyzed by three experts. Frequency and time of scans before and during action as well as quality and speed of subsequent technical-tactical action will be assessed. Dependent variables will be analyzed using two factorial (instruction x group) analyses of variance (i, ii) and mixed models (iii).
 Results
 As the present study was conducted recently, the results will be presented at the conference. However, a previous pilot study showed significantly higher scan frequency after instruction in higher skilled U17 female football players (p < 0.001). It also appeared that higher skilled players are more likely to take advantage of instruction in terms of speed and quality of the subsequent actions.
 Discussion
 This study could provide important initial insights into the scanning activity of U19 female football players. Further, implications for coaching instruction on scanning activity and how this affects the quality of subsequent actions, may impact future coaching strategies.

A 1-year longitudinal study of physical fitness in Tunisian junior tennis players

Background: Tennis, a sport demanding high levels of physical fitness, combines various aspects of athleticism such as agility, endurance, strength, and speed. The development of these attributes in junior players is crucial for their progress in the sport. Understanding the impact of structured tennis training on the physical fitness of junior players can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of training programs and guide future coaching strategies. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of 1-year of tennis practice on the physical fitness of Tunisian junior players. Methods: Sixty-two healthy participants were enrolled, divided into two groups, tennis players (TP) (n = 36) and controls, where the participants sedentary, (n = 26), each group was divided into two subgroups U14 and U16 age-groups. Physical fitness tests were conducted at baseline (T0) and after one-year (T1), including standing long jump, countermovement jump, medicine ball throw (MBT), 5m, 10m, and 20m sprints, sideways shuffle, Zigzag, spider drill, 20m shuttle run, and sit and reach (SAR) tests. Results: Jump performances increased significantly for TP in U14 and U16 compared to controls at T0 and T1. In both age-groups, MBT performance increased significantly for TP, with U16 for both groups were higher at T0 and T1 (p<0.05). The 5m and 10m sprints increased significantly for TP in both age-groups, though controls decreased in the 5m sprint in U14 (p<0.05). The 20m sprint increased significantly for TP in U14 and U16 (p<0.05), with U16 outperforming U14 at T0 and T1 (p<0.05). Sideway shuffle and spider drill performances significantly improved for TP (p<0.05), while decreased in controls (p<0.05). The Zigzag test and the maximum oxygen intake increased significantly for TP across both age-groups at T0 and T1, whereas controls' performance decreased in U14 (p<0.05). Conclusion: TP's SAR was significantly better than controls (p<0.05). In conclusion, tennis training enhances young athletes' physical fitness, improving agility, sprinting, jumping, and endurance compared to controls, reporting better results in U16 compared to U14 for most of tests.
