In the same survey conducted a few years ago by the U.S. Olympic Committee conducted interviews with the athletes of US Olympic team in the period 1984-1998, they were asked what were for them most important coach’s skills.
These athletes ranked at the the top, the ability to teach skills and the ability to motivate and encourage. Following the more typically skills related to the training knowledge and strategic knowledge of sport. Therefore, given that the coaches must be able to plan and conduct their work technically, however, are their interpersonal and psychological skills to make effective their work. These data should make used by those who organize training courses for coaches, in which most of the hours are devoted exclusively to the technical component of this work and little time is dedicated to the development of those skills that instead the top athletes perceive decisive for their success.
