Abstract
 In this study, the content and methods of coaching male athletes who made great strides and had received coaching supported were discussed from the perspective of movement theory. Results showed it is necessary to form players' self-observation ability to improve the quality of their skills through training. To form this self-observation ability, we must pay attention to over-coaching and coaching that allows athletes to think for themselves and deepen their technical awareness. Additionally, coaches must improve their ability to observe others based on their “ability to perceive movement” and “movement empathy ability.” In coaching situations, it was important for coaches and athletes to understand each other's technical issues through “kinasthese-communication.” In this case, it is necessary to create a state in which athletes resonate with what coaches present and work on improving skills. The key to a coach's advice is to give theoretical instruction in a kinasthese-language based on the characteristics of the athlete.
