Coaching Efficacy and Volunteer Soccer Coaches. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Nov 2008, Pages: 144
As youth continue to become involved in sports,
there will always be a need for coaches to guide,
manage, and assist in their skill development and
decision-making abilities. The level of coaching
experience ranges from their first time as a coach
to multiple seasons involved in the sport.
Successful management and guidance of youth on a
sports team comes from a coach's personal confidence
in creating a fun, motivational climate for youth to
grow, develop skills and enjoy themselves. With
these thoughts in mind, the purpose of this book was
to analyze the volunteer soccer coaches’ overall
coaching efficacy, or confidence in coaching a youth
sports team. Four areas of coaching efficacy were
analyzed, developed from Feltz's Coaching Efficacy
Scale and originating from Bandura's work on social
cognitive theory. The analysis and discussion of
the volunteer coaches' efficacy levels shed light on
the factors that impact the confidence of
individuals leading youth sports teams, as well as
important points for organizations who are
developing volunteer coaches for their athletic
programs.
