Abstract

Developing high-quality athlete–coach (A–C) relationships improves both athlete performance and well-being. However, content relating to the A–C relationship has been underrepresented within coach education. The study evaluates how coaches completing the English Football Association’s Union of European Football Associations A and B licenses develop knowledge of the A–C relationship. It does so by drawing on the perspectives of those who design and deliver the courses. Semistructured interviews were completed with nine experienced Football Association coach developers alongside a document analysis of seven key course documents. Data were analysed through an inductive thematic analysis and five themes were generated: (a) coach developers understand that the A–C relationship is built on trust, care, and hard and soft interpersonal approaches; (b) the triad of knowledge impacts on the A–C relationship, not just interpersonal knowledge; (c) the A–C relationship is not meaningfully addressed in the formalised course content; (d) in situ visits provide an effective medium to develop knowledge of the A–C relationship; and (e) the assessment framework does not align with the formalised course content. Findings demonstrate, despite a diversification in content, the A–C relationship is introduced in a superficial manner. Future research should clarify the knowledge coaches require to develop high-quality A–C relationships within a high-performance footballing context.

通过正规教练员教育培养教练员对运动员-教练员关系的认识:足协教练员发展的看法
发展高质量的运动员-教练(A-C)关系可以提高运动员的表现和幸福感。然而,在教练教育中,与A-C关系相关的内容一直没有得到充分的体现。该研究评估了获得英国足球协会欧洲足球协会联盟A和B执照的教练如何发展对A - c关系的认识。它通过借鉴那些设计和提供课程的人的观点来做到这一点。与9位经验丰富的英足总教练开发人员进行了半结构化访谈,并对7个关键课程文件进行了文档分析。通过归纳主题分析对数据进行分析,产生了五个主题:(a)指导开发人员理解a - c关系是建立在信任、关怀和软硬人际关系的基础上的;(b)知识的三重性影响了A-C关系,而不仅仅是人际知识;(c)在正式的课程内容中没有有意义地处理A-C关系;(d)实地考察为发展对A-C关系的认识提供了有效的媒介;评估框架与正式的课程内容不一致。研究结果表明,尽管内容多样化,但a - c关系是肤浅的。未来的研究应该澄清教练在高水平足球环境中发展高质量的a - c关系所需的知识。
