Principles of Coaching

Roles

Role model

A coach that is looking towards winning would be a person that people

look up to because they want to win, and they will try really hard to

get what they want. A winning coach will do what it takes to get to

the top, which is where everybody wants to be.

A coach that is looking towards increasing participation wouldn’t be

as much of a role model than the coach that wants to win. This is

because when you are only looking towards increasing participation you

are not that fused about winning things that is not the reason you are

coaching.

Innovator

A winning coach would learn to cope and manage different abilities;

the coach would have set pieces on how they want things to go. They

will tell the players what and how they want that set piece to run.

A coach looking to increase participation would be more about making

the kids learn new skills. Making sure that they get the hang of it,

even if it means having to put tape on the feet and football to show

where they need to kick it.

Friend

A coaching wanting to win can not get to close to players they have to

be less personal, this is because favouritism could arise and that is

wrong.

A coach increasing participation has to be a friend but a distant

friend due to the child protection act. The coach has to be more of a

friend that the winning coach because this coach wants the kids to

feel comfortable and make them feel that there is no pressure on them

to get everything right.

Manager

A winning coach has to manage a lot of people that do things for him,

such as wash the kit, organise transports and sort...

...g to win will mainly use autocratic, this is because

they know exactly what they want to do therefore will tell the players

and they do what they are told. This coach knows their players so

knows what they need to work on and how they work best.

A coach wanting to increase participation would only use this when

they are teaching the players a skill, so therefore they need to be

autocratic in their leadership.

Laissez-faire style

A coach wanting to win will hardly ever use laissez-faire, this would

be due to the style of this work. A coach wanting to win will know

exactly what they want to do therefore will tell the players what to

do.

A coach wanting to increase participation would maybe sometimes use

laissez-faire this would be to make the players feel more confident

around other players and the coach.
