Styles of Coaching • There are many different styles of coaching • They can be influenced by personality, experience, type of sport, age and gender of athletes • There are three main styles of coaching that are commonly agreed upon • Authoritarian • Democratic • Casual
Authoritarian • Autocratic • Strict, disciplined • Thoroughly prepared • One way communication • All decisions made by the coach • Often critical and harsh towards those that fail • Winning is vital • Often not a good style for the deep thinker and sensitive players
Democratic • Cooperative • Athlete centred • Consultation and shared decisions • Flexibility and creativity • Trust and respect • Accept both praise and constructive criticism • Enjoy success and deal with losses together • Some athletes may view this style as weak or tend to exploit it
Casual • Highly relaxed, easy going • Lack of planning and organisation • Coach by instinct • Assists only when advice is sought • May appear to lack real commitment • Can develop independence in the players • Can leave players uncertain of how to train and improve • Players can feel under valued and unsupported
