National Coaching Standards Set Vision, Goals and Standards for Sport Program Sport coaches have a clearly defined coaching philosophy and work with sport program directors to coordinate and implement the vision and goals for the program. Engage in and Support Ethical Practices Sport coaches understand the importance of ethical behavior, engage in ethical behavior, abide by codes of conduct affiliated with their sport, and promote ethical behavior in their sport program. Build Positive Relationships Sport coaches build positive relationships with stakeholders by developing competencies to effectively communicate, educate, support and collaborate with all stakeholders associated with the sport program (e.g., administrators, assistant coaches, program volunteers, referees, sports medicine professionals, athletes, program supporters such as parents). Develop a Safe Sport Environment Sport coaches seek to create an emotionally and physically safe sport environment by following the practices outlined by their sport organizations, coaching science practice, and state and federal laws. Create an Effective and Inclusive Sport Environment Sport coaches develop practices to maximize positive outcomes for their athletes by building season plans that promote physical, psychological and social benefits for their athletes, encourage participation in sport, and facilitate long-term athlete development. Sport coaches also implement strategies to promote participation of all athletes within their communities. Conduct Practices and Prepare for Competition Sport coaches draw upon relevant coaching science knowledge and sport-specific content knowledge to conduct quality sport practices and prepare athletes for competition. This process can be framed around how coaches plan, teach, assess and adapt in practices and competition. Strive for Continuous Improvement Sport coaches seek to continually improve coaching by participating in ongoing professional development, implementing reflective practice, and engaging in periodic evaluation of the program, while also practicing self-care to prevent burnout.
