Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents the results from a global coach survey of 1266 coaches from 79 nations conducted in Summer 2021, when the world emerged from global lockdowns and the 18-month COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to sharing data on the composition of the global coach community (national residence, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and disability), this study focuses on the impact of the global pandemic on the coaching industry using a quantitative analysis. The findings indicate that age, platform association, pre-pandemic online coaching experiences and average fee were significant predictors of the total impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on coaches. Those least able to adjust and transition to an online environment, or with the least experience working online, reported the greatest detrimental impact. Moreover, the data confirm coaching’s transition towards online delivery, with the pandemic accelerating this process to a point where we believe that this trajectory will continue post-pandemic. To enable the success of this shift, coach supervisors, peer support and professional coach training need to recognise the need for this digital transition and adjust training, support and practices to reflect this new reality.

COVID-19对教练实践的影响:来自全球教练调查的结果

本文介绍了2021年夏季对来自79个国家的1266名教练进行的全球教练调查的结果，当时世界刚刚摆脱了全球封锁和为期18个月的COVID-19大流行。除了分享有关全球教练群体构成的数据(国籍、性别、种族、民族、性取向和残疾)外，本研究还利用定量分析的方法关注全球流行病对教练行业的影响。研究结果表明，年龄、平台关联、疫情前在线教练经历和平均费用是COVID-19大流行对教练总体影响的显著预测因子。那些最不能适应和过渡到网络环境的人，或者最没有在线工作经验的人，报告的有害影响最大。此外，数据证实了培训向在线授课的转变，大流行加速了这一进程，我们认为这一轨迹将在大流行后继续下去。为了使这一转变取得成功，教练主管、同行支持和专业教练培训需要认识到这种数字化转型的必要性，并调整培训、支持和实践，以反映这一新的现实。
