The purpose of this workshop is to present a structured pedagogical process for developing an athlete-centered coaching philosophy. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to create or re-vamp their coaching philosophy, explore what coaching behaviors are athlete-centered and correspond to that philosophy, and discuss multiple ways to self-evaluate. Following participation in the workshop, coaches and educators will possess a more concrete understanding of coaching behaviors that are athlete-centered, and how to develop standards-based coaching practices.
