Competition - Development

 

Competition - Development:

 

Most of these coaches work with adolescents and young adults. Coaches in this context help athletes refine basic skills and tactics, teach more advanced skills and tactics, and prepare them for provincial or national level competitions. Athletes train several times a week on a seasonal or annual basis to improve performance. Although having a good time remains an important part of the athletes' sport experience, the outcome of competitions is of greater importance, as athletes may have to meet pre-determined performance standards. Event/discipline specialization and fitness also become important at this stage. Sport at this level provides an opportunity to teach values and ethics, and refine social skills.

Examples: Coach of a regional or provincial team that trains year round; Canada Games coach; college or university coach.
