Being a successful coach is an enormous challenge. School administrators, parents, athletes, and entire communities all have high expectations of today’s coaches. Good intentions are not enough for success; you need all the knowledge you can get. Most seasoned coaches have learned the skills of coaching through years of trial and error. The Human Kinetics Coach Education course Coaching Principles helps new coaches shorten that learning process—and reduce the painful errors—by teaching the principles of coaching based on the sport sciences and the wisdom of successful coaches.

Coaching Principles is based on extensive research, which is presented in a very applied way in the text Successful Coaching. The Coaching Principles course has been updated and enhanced to reflect the new content featured in the latest edition of the book.

The 20-unit course challenges coaches to define their coaching philosophy, objectives, and style; enhance communication and motivational skills; become more effective teachers; and improve team, relationship, risk, and self-management skills. Coaching Principles covers the fundamentals of being a successful coach—on and off the field.

The supporting video presentation total more than 90 minutes and depicts real-life scenarios coaches deal with on a daily basis. The video also features roundtable discussions with experienced master coaches who provide practical guidelines and sage advice for new coaches on a variety of topics.

Another feature of the course is the Coaching Successfully Manual. This downloadable, editable document can serve as a foundation for creating a comprehensive guide for the administration of a sport program. In addition to housing documents found in the course, the manual contains real-life examples of team policies, mission statements, coaching philosophies, and other ideas and forms coaches can use as is or modify to suite a specific program’s needs.

Coaching Principles also introduces a number of interactive exercises, including the Developmental Dozen, which are 12 goals that prepare coaches for the demands that they will face in developing athletes. At the conclusion of each course unit, coaches are encouraged to compile notes related to each of the 12 goals associated with the unit.

As coaches progress through the online course, they will be asked to read sections of the Successful Coaching text; participate in interactive exercises; watch video and listen to audio clips; refer to and complete a variety of self-assessments, forms, and checklists; and take unit quizzes. The course concludes with a 100-question test. All of these elements combine to make the Coaching Principles course an interactive and engaging learning experience.
