Erickson, K., Côté, J., & Fraser-Thomas, J. (2007). 
Sport Experiences, Milestones, and Educational 
Activities Associated With High-Performance 
Coaches' Development. Sport Psychologist, 21(3), 
302-316. 
Tyler Goad and Karl Zang
Quantitative Analysis of Coaching 
Experiences 
• What experiences are necessary in developing 
high-performance coaches 
– Common experiences in each developmental 
stage? 
– Is formal coaching education a factor? 
– Are there necessary experiences that must occur 
in order to become a high-performance coach?
Background and Significance 
• Research intended to expand on previous 
research done. 
• Support other related research 
• “Developing a framework of sport experiences 
that are necessary for the development of these 
high-performance coaches” (p.303).
Methods 
• Retrospective interview procedure 
– contained preset questions designed to collect 
quantitative information 
– Only experiences that occurred before the 
participant became a high-performance coaches 
where recorded 
– 19 “high performance coaches” 
• 10 sport team and 9 individual sport coaches
Analysis Methods 
• Descriptive Stats of interview items 
– Means, standard deviations, and frequency scores 
• Categorization of interview items 
– Level 1 = 100% nonzero item scores. All 
respondents experienced these. 
– Level 2 = 75% of sample reported scores (8/10 
sport team and 8/9 individual coaches)
Findings/Main arguments 
• The study was able to characterize high 
performance coach development into 5 stages 
• Supported similar studies findings: 
– coaches had experience as an athlete in the sport they 
now coached (not necessarily occur at a high level). 
– formal coaching education/mentorship where 
important experiences in the development 
– most high level coaches had some type of coaching 
experience before becoming a head coach.
Conclusions/Implications for Future 
Research 
• The what, how much, and when analysis can 
be applied to coaching education 
(development stages) 
• Use larger coaching sample 
– Female coaches 
– Different countries (cultural differences)
Importance to me? 
• The 1973 “ten year rule”- initial coaching 
involvement to obtaining a high performance 
head coaching position = 10 years
Questions? 
• Is becoming a high level coach more about 
“who you know” than “what you know” 
• Which developmental stage is the most critical 
in your opinion?

Editor's Notes

  1. -examined the experiences of different levels of coaches (high school, community college, division I, and international). Comparably these two studies found; extremely varied coaching experiences and a minimal amount of formal coaching education. - Supported the 73 study “10 year rule”
  2. So instead of asking specifics it was broken down into questions like “how many years…seasons…” Defined as, “someone coaching highly skilled athletes in a sport environment that focused primarily on performances, as opposed to fun or athlete development”
  3. Although this total experience score is a unit- less measure, it gives some idea of the overall amount of sport experience obtained before becoming a high-performance head coach.
  4. Diversified early sport participation Competitive sport participation Highly competitive sport participation/introduction to coaching Part time early coaching High performance head coaching
  5. 1st stage example = exposed to a large variety of sports 2nd stage = leadership position in competitive sport athletic participation= coaching introduction opportunity -Final stage= having a strong coaching mentor.
