A self-directed online resource to enhance coach learning: a 21st-century approach to coach education

Findings indicate that i) key features of the COT are appropriate and practical for coaches; ii) the use of the COT supported self-reflection among coaches, particularly related to facilitative coaching practices and an increased awareness in the designing and delivery of programming. However, additional application features (e.g., incorporating athlete feedback, using Artificial Intelligence for data management) may further enhance the potential to support coach learning effectively. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications for coaches, administrators, and coach educators are discussed.
