Abstract

Sports coaching involves navigating ambiguity and uncertainty in stakeholders’ perspectives and managing a dynamic micro-political environment. This study explores the relationship between coaching efficacy and effectiveness in South African Women's Rugby. It examines how a coach's belief in their ability to influence athlete learning and performance (coaching efficacy) correlates with the actual impact on athletes (coaching effectiveness). By aligning coaches’ perceived competence with tangible athlete outcomes, the study provides insights into factors influencing coaching practices and athlete development. The study involved 28 women players (mean age: 24.8 ± 4.0 years) and 8 coaches (mean age: 41 ± 3.8 years) who participated in semi-structured online interviews. The interview script, derived from the Coaching Effectiveness Survey (CES) tool, was analysed using Braun and Clarke's 6-step process of thematic content analysis. Under the four efficacy dimensions, sub-themes emerged as follow: 1) motivation (climate created by the coach and a motivational climate experienced by the players), 2) technique (coaching physical, technical, and tactical aspects of rugby), 3) game strategy (guiding players to successful outcomes), and 4) character-building efficacy (cultivating a positive environment for sportswomanship and holistic development). The findings incorporate feedback from players and coaches, highlighting firsthand experiences of coaching effectiveness. This approach enables experts to identify effective coaching strategies and those needing refinement within Women's Rugby. The study's findings promise to inform future coach development frameworks and foster a comprehensive understanding of coaching effectiveness in the dynamic landscape of Women's Rugby worldwide.
洞察教练的有效性:南非女子橄榄球队教练和球员的观点
体育教练需要在利益相关者观点的模糊性和不确定性中游刃有余,并管理动态的微观政治环境。本研究探讨了南非女子橄榄球运动中教练的效能与效率之间的关系。研究探讨了教练对其影响运动员学习和表现的能力的信念(教练效能)与对运动员的实际影响(教练效能)之间的关系。通过将教练员感知的能力与运动员的实际成果相联系,该研究深入探讨了影响教练实践和运动员发展的因素。研究涉及 28 名女选手(平均年龄:24.8 ± 4.0 岁)和 8 名教练员(平均年龄:41 ± 3.8 岁),她们参加了半结构化在线访谈。访谈脚本来自教练效能调查(CES)工具,采用布劳恩和克拉克的六步主题内容分析法进行分析。在四个效能维度下,出现了以下子主题:1)动力(教练营造的氛围和球员体验到的动力氛围),2)技术(橄榄球的体能、技术和战术方面的指导),3)比赛策略(指导球员取得成功),以及 4)性格塑造效能(为体育精神和全面发展营造积极的环境)。研究结果纳入了球员和教练的反馈意见,强调了教练有效性的第一手经验。通过这种方法,专家们可以确定在女子橄榄球运动中有效的教练策略和需要改进的策略。研究结果有望为未来的教练发展框架提供信息,并促进对全球女子橄榄球动态环境中教练有效性的全面了解。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Sports Science & Coaching is a peer-reviewed, international, academic/professional journal, which aims to bridge the gap between coaching and sports science. The journal will integrate theory and practice in sports science, promote critical reflection of coaching practice, and evaluate commonly accepted beliefs about coaching effectiveness and performance enhancement. Open learning systems will be promoted in which: (a) sports science is made accessible to coaches, translating knowledge into working practice; and (b) the challenges faced by coaches are communicated to sports scientists. The vision of the journal is to support the development of a community in which: (i) sports scientists and coaches respect and learn from each other as they assist athletes to acquire skills by training safely and effectively, thereby enhancing their performance, maximizing their enjoyment of the sporting experience and facilitating character development; and (ii) scientific research is embraced in the quest to uncover, understand and develop the processes involved in sports coaching and elite performance.
