Coaches have a vital role in helping athletes reach their full potential. They provide guidance, support, and instruction to help athletes progress and reach their goals. The UK's training strategy outlines the coach's role as one that enables athletes to reach levels of performance that may not have been possible if they had gone it alone. The four major coaching roles are head coach, offensive and defensive coordinator, special teams coach, and more.
Each of these roles has its own responsibilities, but all of them are focused on providing the necessary support and instruction to help athletes succeed. Great coaches understand that they have an obligation to give people the information they need to be successful, even if it's uncomfortable for the coach. Regular feedback is essential for helping people climb learning curves and become competent. It's important to remember that these four roles don't have to be exclusive.
Coaches can also use online resources such as ProProfs to become experts in creating online assessments, scored and personality questionnaires, and attractive quizzes.
