Motivation vs. Leadership Qualities of Sports Coaching

The motive of sports coaching in lifestyle, career and business sector is the same, in sport or business, where the coach is usually someone who has much experience in the area of expertise or someone who is known in their sports or industry, and brings along their experience and expertise to train people to achieve. Its origins, of course came from the sporting arena where coaches have for centuries helped athletes achieve their goals.

Sports motivation, when used in professional or casual sports, can take many forms. The coaches use video tapings of successful games to enhance feelings of pride and skill with their team members. Watching strategic moves with positive outcomes on individual levels as well as teamwork repeatedly ingrains those moments within the players' memories. Players who view the videotape detailing a mistake they had made can identify the problem and correct it. This works in reverse as well; players who see themselves making a fantastic play will be able to do it again and again.

The essence of good sports coaching of coaches is to break out the core skills and practice them with sensitive feedback. Key skills include both questioning and listening. As there are many types of questions (open, closed, clarifying, exploring, summarizing, confirming, challenging etc) it might be useful to agree what these are and when they might be used most effectively, followed by practice of each type, exclusively without using any other.

The equivocal nature of the findings tends to reflect the nature of the research, that is, the Co-Active Coach CPCC and technique based approaches are treated as alternate forms of practice, which is strongly recommended to every sportsperson to go for. Consequently, this research has been built upon the foundation of a false dichotomy, namely an overly simplistic technical versus tactical approach. Despite the intuitive appeal of such a position, the debate is in fact multi-faceted.
