ABSTRACT

Traditionally Strength and Conditioning Coaches have been prepared for their roles through the development of a strong theoretical knowledge base and demonstrating proficiency across a range of technical frameworks. Importantly, however, recent research within Strength and Conditioning (S & C) has argued for a focus on cognitive skills and processes to support the comprehensive and established bio-physical educational materials available to learners. Accordingly, an area of growing interest within S & C is how to most appropriately prepare coaches for the authentic demands of the workplace. In other professional domains, Cognitive Apprenticeship (CA) methods have been researched and adopted to enhance the effectiveness of workers. This article provides an overview of the characteristics of CA and how these pedagogical tools could be applied across different S & C learning environments. The approaches discussed, and conceptually modelled, offer a practical and feasible solution for future coach preparation methods. Such an approach would focus on developing more contextually aware and impactful coaches and improve the services provided to an organisation.

摘要

传统上，力量和体能教练通过发展强大的理论知识基础和展示对一系列技术框架的熟练程度来为他们的角色做好准备。然而，重要的是，力量与条件 (S & C) 的近期研究主张关注认知技能和过程，以支持学习者可以获得全面且成熟的生物物理教育材料。因此，施恩禧内部越来越感兴趣的一个领域是如何最恰当地让教练为工作场所的真实需求做好准备。在其他专业领域，已经研究并采用认知学徒制 (CA) 方法来提高工人的效率。本文概述了 CA 的特征以及这些教学工具如何应用于不同的 S & C 学习环境。所讨论和概念建模的方法为未来的教练准备方法提供了实用可行的解决方案。这种方法将侧重于培养更具情境意识和影响力的教练，并改善为组织提供的服务。
