Coaching Education and Pedagogy
Youth coaches are educators as much as trainers. Their influence extends beyond performance to character development, well-being, and lifelong attitudes toward sport.
Effective youth coaches possess technical knowledge, communication skills, and an understanding of child erotic development. Continuous education ensures coaching practices remain evidence-based and athlete-centered.
Ethical Responsibility and Athlete Welfare
Coaches hold a position of authority and responsibility. Safeguarding athlete welfare, promoting respect, and preventing abuse are fundamental ethical obligations.
Clear codes of conduct, accountability structures, and education programs are essential to maintaining safe and positive development environments.
