The influence of the social context and the coaching environment on the coaching process and performance evaluation
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Despite the progress on coaching process evaluation and on coaching behavioural assessment, coaching performance evaluation still remains a confusing and under-researched area. Indeed, coaching terminology has been inconsistent and evaluation approaches have been unidimensional and inadequate. In addition, evaluation criteria have widely varied among scholars and behavioural assessments have provided poor practical implications. Similarly, the coaching process, the social context and the situational variables are not isolated but interrelated and interdependent. However, the holistic nature of the coaching procedure is also under-researched. As a result, a conceptual agreement on coaching performance evaluation has not been established. In conclusion, coaching is a cognitive improvisation, a set of flexible rules and experiences that alter in time and situation and prove “right” from the results. Since coaching may be both an art and a science and every coach may have his/her own way to achieve effectiveness, the focus on coaching performance evaluation may shift from how a coach is effective to when. Robust approaches of coaching performance evaluation accept team’s and athlete’s outcomes as the only objective, measurable and available criteria.
