Charlotte Osborne, British Dressage’s Training and Education Manager commented; “The National Development Programme for Coaching Excellence has previously been coordinated by our colleagues in British Showjumping (BS), who have done an amazing job in establishing this fabulous initiative. We will continue to work closely with BS, British Equestrian and the members of Coaching Development Action Team to further build on its success. Skill enhancement – continuous coaching leads to skill development and refinement, ensuring employees are better equipped to manage their tasks. This translates into better quality work and improved efficiency. Bono, J. E., & Judge, T. A. (2004). Personality and transformational and transactional leadership: A meta-analysis.

This programme will also support our broader ambition to normalise women in football coaching, shining a light each year on aspirational, relatable and credible female role models for future generations to be inspired by.Gould, D., & Maynard, I.

NASPE also lead efforts in quality coaching education through the creation of NCACE, the National Council for the Accreditation of Coaching Education (NCACE). Based on the National Standards for Sport Coaches: Quality Coaches, Quality Sports and the Guidelines for Accreditation of Coaching Education, NCACE accredits sport coaching education programs across different sport levels and contexts across the United States. The core principle of CBC is that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. By challenging and reframing unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, individuals can transform their behavior and improve their performance. This approach often involves techniques such as cognitive restructuring, goal setting, and self-monitoring to facilitate positive change. Positive Psychology Coaching

In 2015, the Society of Health and Physical Educators of America (SHAPE America) launched 50 Million StrongTM with goals of improving physical literacy, increasing physical activity levels, and encouraging lifelong physical activity among children by the year 2029. Not only are youth sports programs crucial to meeting 50 Million StrongTM goals, but it also requires the purposeful efforts of sport coaches, program administrators, researchers, coach educators, and coach developers. While it is encouraging that research on sport coaching topics appears to be growing, there is still much to learn about how to prepare coaches to provide quality sport experiences for their athletes. Consequently, to further this call, it is crucial to understand the current state of sports coaching research and propose future research needs in the discipline. The purpose of this paper is to identify research needs in sports coaching and coach education/development that assists in achieving the 50 Million StrongTM goals of SHAPE America. Throughout the paper, critical research questions are identified in two main areas: 1) coaches’ roles in developing physically literate athletes, and 2) developing coaches in regards to coach learning, the efficacy of coach education, and coach health and well-being. Furthermore, commensurate with other papers in the series commissioned by the SHAPE America Research Consortium, we discuss these areas within a social ecological model to understand the impact of the bi-directional interactions between environmental factors and individual behaviors.
