Coaching Theory
The Role of the Coach
Do you have what it takes to be a coach?
Why coach?
People get involved in coaching for
a variety of diverse reasons.
Before you sign up, ask yourself
what is your motivation?
Motivation
Motivation + Coaching Philosophy + Coaching Style + Coaching Skills = Success=Happiness!
Most coaches work long hours, constantly
deal with stressful situations and only
the professionals get paid. Realize that
no matter how dedicated, prepared,
successful, focused, enthusiastic and
approachable you are, there will be times
when you feel that all your efforts have
been wasted. Don’t despair!
Motivation
Motivation + Coaching Philosophy + Coaching Style + Coaching Skills = Success=Happiness!
Coaching requires a certain skillset; do you possess the
coaching skills to be successful? If you still decide to
put forth the effort you will need to develop a
coaching philosophy. The next step is adopting a
coaching style which will enable you to set the bar for
player-coach communication, power distribution and
goal achievement. Ask yourself: are you more focused
on winning, having fun or developing personal and team
skills?
Motivation
Motivation + Coaching Philosophy + Coaching Style + Coaching Skills = Success=Happiness!
Every coach is searching for that elusive sweet
spot where the team as a unit responds to the
coaches’ direction and leadership, works hard to
overcome adversity and exceeds expectations.
Why coach?
For that feeling of satisfaction and
accomplishment!
Motivation
Motivation + Coaching Philosophy + Coaching Style + Coaching Skills = Success=Happiness!
Coaching Philosophy
Are you the right person for the job? You need to have a philosophy
in place. Ask yourself these questions…
• Why are you choosing to coach?
• Will your coaching style be Democratic, Authoritarian or Laissez-
Faire?
• How do you approach losing, winning or cheating?
• How will you deal with differences in ability, background and
experience?
• Will you balance playing time in crunch time?
• How will you deal with behavioural issues?
• Can you overcome adversity?

Coaching Style –philosophy meets practice!
Who you are as a person should be reflected in how you present
yourself to your players. Coaches can be classified as either
Authoritarian, Democratic or Laissez-Faire. In most cases, a good
coach blends these three styles to maximize the performance, growth
and enjoyment of the players. Based on your coaching philosophy and
your goals, you should adopt the coaching style that fits your
personality and your players’ needs.
The attached pictures may seem intimidating but
authoritarian coaches are often successful. Players and
parents sometimes overlook the negatives as a necessary
tradeoff for winning.
Coaching Style - Authoritarian
An Authoritarian coach prioritizes winning. To achieve this, the coach acts
in a strict, disciplined and autocratic style. Failure is dealt with harshly
and there is little acceptance of playing for fun. Decisions are made by the
coach and there is little discussion.
Coaching Style - Authoritarian
Focus: Winning!
Cons: There is the potential for conflict
between coach, parents and players. Sensitive
players will play tentatively or quit.
Pros: Organized and prepared for games and
practices. Structure/boundaries may help some
players.
Coaching Style – Democratic
As with politics, democracy in coaching is about
providing the players with the power to make their
own decisions. The focus is on the players’ needs and
wants, not those of the coach. This cooperative
approach has the coach providing both praise and
offering constructive criticism. This unstructured
approach allows for creative play and team unity
since the coach and players work as equals.
Coaching Style – Democratic
Focus: Cohesion!
Pros: Players tend to accept the coach
since their success or failure is based
on a shared respect and trust.
Cons: Players may take advantage of
the situation or be lazy if they
perceive the coach to be weak and
unstructured.
Coaching Style – Laissez-Faire
Laissez-Faire coaching is unstructured. The
coach acts as a facilitator but does not attempt
to influence or teach. Players assume
responsibility for learning and development. They
are empowered to make their own decisions.
Coaching Style – Laissez Faire
Focus: Ownership!
Pros: Players take responsibility for their
own growth and development. They can
take credit for their successes.
Cons: If players are not motivated to
improve or lacking in experience, they
quickly stagnate.
Hints to developing your coaching style:
 Don’t feel you have to choose. Your style can be
a hybrid of the three.
 Trust your instincts. Adapt your style to your
personality.
 Understand your audience. Use the style that
will enthuse and motivate your players.
Coaching Style –philosophy meets practice!
Hints to developing your coaching style:
 Not every player on your team can be coached in
the same style. Reserve the right to be flexible
with how you coach individual players. For
example, some players will thrive under
autocratic leadership while others will wither.
Each player has a motivational button. Find out
what it is and push it!
Coaching Style –philosophy meets practice!
The End!

  • 4. Most coaches work long hours, constantly deal with stressful situations and only the professionals get paid. Realize that no matter how dedicated, prepared, successful, focused, enthusiastic and approachable you are, there will be times when you feel that all your efforts have been wasted. Don’t despair! Motivation Motivation + Coaching Philosophy + Coaching Style + Coaching Skills = Success=Happiness!
  • 5. Coaching requires a certain skillset; do you possess the coaching skills to be successful? If you still decide to put forth the effort you will need to develop a coaching philosophy.

Ask yourself: are you more focused on winning, having fun or developing personal and team skills? Motivation Motivation + Coaching Philosophy + Coaching Style + Coaching Skills = Success=Happiness!

Why coach? For that feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment! Motivation Motivation + Coaching Philosophy + Coaching Style + Coaching Skills = Success=Happiness!
  • 8. Are you the right person for the job? You need to have a philosophy in place.

  • 21. Coaching Style –philosophy meets practice! Who you are as a person should be reflected in how you present yourself to your players. Coaches can be classified as either Authoritarian, Democratic or Laissez-Faire. In most cases, a good coach blends these three styles to maximize the performance, growth and enjoyment of the players. Based on your coaching philosophy and your goals, you should adopt the coaching style that fits your personality and your players’ needs.
  • 22. The attached pictures may seem intimidating but authoritarian coaches are often successful. Players and parents sometimes overlook the negatives as a necessary tradeoff for winning. Coaching Style - Authoritarian An Authoritarian coach prioritizes winning. To achieve this, the coach acts in a strict, disciplined and autocratic style. Failure is dealt with harshly and there is little acceptance of playing for fun. Decisions are made by the coach and there is little discussion.
  • 23. Coaching Style - Authoritarian Focus: Winning! Cons: There is the potential for conflict between coach, parents and players. Sensitive players will play tentatively or quit. Pros: Organized and prepared for games and practices. Structure/boundaries may help some players.
  • 24. Coaching Style – Democratic As with politics, democracy in coaching is about providing the players with the power to make their own decisions. The focus is on the players’ needs and wants, not those of the coach. This cooperative approach has the coach providing both praise and offering constructive criticism. This unstructured approach allows for creative play and team unity since the coach and players work as equals.
  • 25. Coaching Style – Democratic Focus: Cohesion! Pros: Players tend to accept the coach since their success or failure is based on a shared respect and trust. Cons: Players may take advantage of the situation or be lazy if they perceive the coach to be weak and unstructured.
  • 26. Coaching Style – Laissez-Faire Laissez-Faire coaching is unstructured. The coach acts as a facilitator but does not attempt to influence or teach. Players assume responsibility for learning and development. They are empowered to make their own decisions.
  • 27. Coaching Style – Laissez Faire Focus: Ownership! Pros: Players take responsibility for their own growth and development. They can take credit for their successes. Cons: If players are not motivated to improve or lacking in experience, they quickly stagnate.
  • 28. Hints to developing your coaching style:  Don’t feel you have to choose. Your style can be a hybrid of the three.  Trust your instincts. Adapt your style to your personality.  Understand your audience. Use the style that will enthuse and motivate your players. Coaching Style –philosophy meets practice!
  • 29. Hints to developing your coaching style:  Not every player on your team can be coached in the same style. Reserve the right to be flexible with how you coach individual players. For example, some players will thrive under autocratic leadership while others will wither. Each player has a motivational button. Find out what it is and push it! Coaching Style –philosophy meets practice!
