Coaches play a central role in providing sport experiences for sportspeople of all ages and skill levels
To fulfil their role, coaches must have appropriate competence and training, taking into account the target group(s) with whom they are working
Coaches are expected to be as concerned with the well being of the sportspeople as they are with optimising performance.
Coaches should respect the rights, dignity and worth of every sports participant, and treat everyone equally, regardless of sex, ethnic origin, religion or political conviction.
Coaches are expected to work in an open and co-operative manner with all individuals responsible for the welfare and performance development of the sportspeople.
Coaches should develop and maintain a high standard of training; their action, whilst conducting training sessions, should reflect scientific knowledge and current expertise.
Convention
Scientific principles should be applied in every level of coaches’ training. Responsibilities and professional competence should gradually build up
from the initial levels of coaches’ qualification to the final ones. All coaches should hold a coaching qualification that is recognised by the
national competent authority and the relevant federation. The framework for the recognition of coaching
competence and qualifications as proposed by the European Coaching Council is the European recognised mechanism reference point for the period 2008-11.
The establishment of a formal review mechanism will be investigated to provide a basis on which prior learning and current competence can be recognised and where coaching qualifications can be reviewed against the ECC framework.
Consideration should be given to the establishment of a licensing system that will have international recognition and currency.
Convention
ICCE Strategy
Global Framework for the recognition of coaching competence and qualifications (GFRCCQ)
Global Network of coaches Coaching as a profession
Note: Key role of higher education and the proposed establishment of a Global-European Coaching Office and a Coaching Senate
