Stage of development | Description of current work practices |
Initial stages of development (Guided responders) | Coaches at this level… ● Tend to have little or no situational perception. ● Spend a great deal of time enforcing rules. ● Do not usually plan their training sessions. ● Mostly use an ad hoc approach to session delivery. ● Are still trying to establish routines so often believe things are out of control. ● Make use of training drills that are mostly highly structured and ineffective. ● Have little understanding of the theories that underpin the learning process so often blame athletes for a lack of athletic progression. |
