In competitive sports, practice time is an important factor that affects an athlete’s performance. It is obvious that we (athletes and coaches) cannot achieve high performance and excellent competition results without enough practice time.
However, even in situations where we do not get enough time to practice, we work hard to achieve goals (such as winning a medal and participation in competition). We need to find out what kind of abilities a coach needs to enhance the athlete’s performance and achieve goals in such a situation.
I used to coach junior gymnasts in the gymnastic club. As they did not get enough practice time, I thought it was difficult to enhance their performance and get good results, but I kept on coaching them for a year, and then they finally won medals at a competition.
The purpose of this study was to clarify the details of my coaching process and identify the abilities of effective coaching, through an analysis based on Kaneko’s phenomenological movement theory.
As a result of studying this theory, I was able to clarify various factors that contributed to my decision to coach them, including my intentions in making that decision to determine my coaching. These factors were not established in the beginning of the process; instead, they were born from the need to set and achieve goals within limited time.
In conclusion, this study mentions that it is necessary for coaches to grasp opportunities to coach athletes accurately when trying to get good competitive results in limited time. To date, few studies have researched such ability of coaches. Therefore, the results of this study may be useful to elucidate effective coaching abilities and provide useful information to other coach in competitive sports field.
