Abstract

Coaching is not a simple activity with ‘black and white’ challenges and answers but rather a complicated role with ‘shades of grey’ and an ‘it depends’ rule. The effective sport coach must move beyond thinking ‘what went well’ and ‘what could have gone better’. A coach’s ability to reflect critically on key criteria - their ability to ask why and consider the pros and cons of what they do within practice and competition - and developing the ability to do the best thing at the best time for the best purpose can be enhanced by reflective practice.
