  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION OF COACHES: A REVIEW OF LITERATURE

The purpose of this study was review the existing literature on coaches’ knowledge sources. The review highlighted coaches’ knowledge is built from a broad range of sources. It is influenced by a complex mix of formal, non-formal, informal directed and self-directed learning experiences. However, this developmental mix for coaches is largely individualised and ad hoc. While the literature suggests the balance tends to be toward informal learning, the optimal mix of learning experiences needs to be addressed. In this respect, the researches available on coaching knowledge are limited by a tendency to focus on expert or elite coaching practitioners. This group of coaches has been shown to favour self-directed learning and therefore engage in activities to match. 

Key words: learning situation, coaching science; coaching education and coaching experience
