The dynamic role of elite coach : player and coach perspectives
Young, Janet A. and Pearce, Alan J. 2011, The dynamic role of elite coach : player and coach perspectives, Medicine and science in tennis, vol. 16, no. 1, pp. 26-30.
As part of a larger study on talent development, ten top ranked players and ten coaches (nominated by the player) responded to open-ended questionnaires. Players and coaches were asked them to recall their background in tennis, describe the role of the coach and any changes in this role, and offer suggestions to coaches for nurturing talent. A series of inductive content analyses was conduct to analyze the data. These analyses revealed significant, and changing, roles of the coach during a player’s development to professional status. Recommendations to coaches highlighted the importance of coach philosophy, communication, and planning. Implications for coach education programs are discussed.
