This version of the Coaching Principles course is for college and university students. It includes the following:
The content in Coaching Principles is drawn from one of the most authoritative guides on coaching: Successful Coaching, Fifth Edition, written by Rainer Martens, sport psychologist and Human Kinetics founder, and Robin Vealey, an internationally known researcher on the psychological aspects of youth sport and coaching effectiveness as well as a professor in the department of sport leadership and management at Miami University in Ohio. World-renowned coach educator and author Wade Gilbert, professor of kinesiology at Fresno State University, contributed as the course developer. Brian Gearity, director and associate professor of the sport coaching master’s program at the University of Denver, appears in video segments throughout each unit.
The fifth edition of Coaching Principles stays true to its objective to teach the fundamental tenets of becoming a successful coach, both on and off the field, while being purposefully streamlined and offering more practical applications. Each course part corresponds with one of the five book parts.
Part I challenges students to determine their motivation for being a coach. Introspective exercises ask students to develop a coaching philosophy, coaching objectives, and leadership style that will ultimately drive their every coaching decision and help them stay the course in a high-stakes, hypercompetitive environment.
Part II focuses on understanding and managing athletes’ behavior. Successful coaches are master psychologists. Knowing how to communicate with, motivate, discipline, and reward athletes is essential for helping athletes reach their full potential as well as manage their response to pressure situations that can lead to anxiety and burnout.
Being an effective coach means being an effective teacher. Part III provides instruction for teaching technical and tactical skills, developing sport-smart athletes, planning and conducting practices, and implementing the games approach in coaching.
As the saying goes, “Games are won in the weight room.” Part IV addresses the coach’s role in training athletes to meet the physical demands of sport and achieve peak performance. The course has been updated with the latest scientific research on physical training and nutrition.
Successful coaches are effective administrators, managers, and communicators. Part V covers the team management, relationship management, and risk management skills coaches need to run sport programs that are efficient, cohesive, and safe.
Each unit begins with an animated overview of the key concepts to be covered, followed by a reading assignment from the course text. The course then presents several interactive coaching scenarios that depict real-life situations coaches are likely to face. Choices and consequences are provided for each, compelling students to weigh potential responses and anticipate outcomes of their choices. A video with Brian Gearity summarizes the key takeaways for each scenario. Units conclude with a quiz to check understanding. Coaching development activities, which encourage students to record their takeaways in a comprehensive portfolio for future reference and reflection, can be assigned as homework by instructors.
Students will have free access to the Coaching Principles certification test, administered by Human Kinetics and delivered on a separate platform (independent of the class). By passing the test, students with aspirations of becoming a scholastic coach will earn a valuable coaching credential that is recognized by numerous state high school associations and sport organizations nationwide.
The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) also requires non-faculty coaches to complete a state-specific bylaws exam for certification. This test is included with the CIF Coaching Principles, Fifth Edition Higher Ed Online Course. Students take the CIF test independent of the class just as with Coaching Principles.
