Abstract

Objective

To explore youth Rugby Union coaches’ preferences for education and support in the implementation of injury prevention programmes (IPPs).

Methods

Twelve Rugby Union coaches involved with youth teams participated in five online focus groups. Conventional content analysis was used to determine preferences initially from transcripts, and thereafter main categories, generic categories and sub-categories.

Results

Coach preferences were organised into three main categories: ‘formal/non-formal learning', ‘informal learning’, and ‘intrapersonal considerations’. The generic categories of ‘logistics’, ‘content’ and ‘resources’ featured substantially in coach preferences for education. Coaches prefer live structured group workshops in the pre-season period, which focus on the development of implicit knowledge. To do this, coaches prefer practical opportunities for coaching within the education session. In support of this education, coaches want resources (both physical and video) which assist in session planning.

Conclusions

The preferences of youth Rugby Union coaches towards IPP education and support are similar to that of other coaching domains. A live practical workshop held in the pre-season is preferred, although facilitator preferences varied. A mismatch is evident between coach preferences for IPP education and what is currently being offered through NGB coach education therefore further exploration of NGB perspectives is warranted.

教练想要什么？探讨青少年橄榄球联盟教练在实施伤害预防计划方面的教育偏好。

目的：探讨青少年橄榄球联盟教练在实施伤害预防计划（ipp）方面的教育和支持偏好。方法：12名橄榄球联盟教练参与青年队参加了5个在线焦点小组。传统的内容分析首先从转录本确定偏好，然后从主要类别、一般类别和子类别确定偏好。结果：教练的偏好被分为三大类：“正式/非正式学习”、“非正式学习”和“个人考虑”。“后勤”、“内容”和“资源”这三个通用类别在教练的教育偏好中占有重要地位。教练们更喜欢在季前赛期间进行现场结构化的小组研讨会，这侧重于隐性知识的发展。为了做到这一点，教练更喜欢在教育课程中提供实际的指导机会。为了支持这种教育，教练需要资源（包括实物和视频）来帮助他们规划课程。结论：青少年橄榄球联盟教练对IPP教育和支持的偏好与其他教练领域相似。在季前赛举办的现场实践研讨会是首选，尽管主持人的偏好各不相同。教练对IPP教育的偏好与目前NGB教练教育提供的内容明显不匹配，因此有必要进一步探索NGB的观点。
