Hi all. I was just wondering if anyone who has played sport at any level in the last three years would complete this quick survey for me on coaching and its affects and importance at different levels.
(Worth saying that each survey is totally anonymous and whatever answers you select will take you to various pathways and follow-up questions).
Very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Done.
That last question though, you might need to weight your answers given the likely TWTD response.
Edit: Also Phil/Gav could you make this a sticky for a few days please. [Post edited 29 Mar 2021 17:10]

Thanks mate. And cheers Phil/Gav for the sticky.
As for the last question, that’s more for my own analysis than to be used in statistics and graphs so the number of likely Ipswich related answers there is alright. | |

Noticed an error on the 2nd page, you've accidentally listed darts as a sport... |  |

Done - or rather, done by my 16 year old son.
Good luck with your studies. |  |

Thanks bud.
Lockdown 1 maybe cost me a decent darts career I think. Played for a pub team in second year of uni. Was unbeaten for 15 weeks in singles (and doubles) and was barely dropping a leg when winning before lockdown and the regional team captain was coming to watch my next match with an idea of singing me to represent High Wycombe in the Buckinghamshire County league. Unfortunately, my next match was the week after the Cheltenham festival (because I’d gone to that so missed a week of darts) and lockdown came in and the rest of the season was postponed.
Next time darts returns.. I’ll have left High Wycombe. So I’ll probably never know. But I could’ve definitely done alright.. even hit 5 perfect darts of a 9 darter in one of my matches. | |

Too lazy for sport but it's effects, not affects this time Rommy. Effect is a noun and affect is a verb.
May be helpful in your final write-up :) |  |

I've also completed it (well, am in the process) and found an error (unless I'm being idiotic - it happens...)
I put that I've had regular coaching and then got a follow up question that says "Do you believe that the introduction of a coach would have improved the results of your team/yourself?" The bit at the top says "Previously, you said that you did not receive regular coaching for your sport." I refreshed in case I'd clicked the wrong option but I don't think I have... |  |

Not sure what’s happened there. Apologies
I’ve just done it and if clicking yes to regular coaching, it goes to a page saying ‘Previously, you said thag you received coaching for your sport regularly (at least monthly).
Once you submit, I’ll have a look though and see what’s happened. | |

Keep at it mate
plenty of England Darts and WDF comps to play in mate, hopefully get going in the Autumn - British Open at Bridlinton in October, English Open at Selsey in September - been a year since I've played (other than 15 mins a day in my living room) - its actually helped me as it has stopped the degeneration of my shoulder!
Look after yourself

I did get that option first, then the next page asked me about not having a coach. I put an answer saying that I did have a coach, if that helps... | |

That question only applies to people who answer a previous question in a certain way.
The survey basically has 8 separate pathways based on three yes/no questions throughout the survey. The other 7 pathways are skipped and so some questions apply to some but not others.
Thanks all once again | |

The problem with the final question, is that it is a thesis subject in its own right.
Having said that, interesting questionnaire. My only feeling about it is that it doesn't really address the full breadth of sports coaching.
As an example, at the racquets club where I play squash and tennis, we have elite level coaches working with performance pathway atheletes, and we have coaches teaching youngsters how to hit a ball, and learn the rules of a new game. How do you compare the value of taking someone from number 2 to number 1 in their age group, to instilling a love of a new sport to a group of kids. | |

Good question. Which is handy really as my dissertation title I’ve decided on is:
‘The importance of coaches for the success and development of sports teams and individuals’
The primary objective for my research is to compare the different ways to measure ‘success’ for a coach to both individuals and teams and how the actual role of a coach influences both of these things. | |

Hugely challenging isn't it?
I'm relatively new to coaching, but I've been lucky enough to work on occassion with a British Record holder and also, those kids who are 8-10 just getting into the sport.
Athlete development has long been the holy grail of all sports, but I'm a great believer of keeping the kids happy and ensuring they want to stay in the sport as being a measure for younger ones. Having been on a GB squad selection as a kid but actually hating every moment of what I did meant I left the sport.
I'm acutely aware that success doesn't mean much if you're not loving what you do.
At elite level, it's different of course, everything is measured and those athletes are target driven and times/wins are generally the measure when someone is paid to do what they do. (Although you'd still want to see them turn up with a smile!)
Coaching is hugely underrated and missunderstood my so many....mostly parents! |  | | |

Yeah, its a fascinating subject. I come at this from the point of being on the exec committee of previous mentioned club. We had to instill a new head pro for the squash section, a few years ago, and chose an ex-professional, who turned out to be a very strong elite coach, but a very poor club pro. His interest was only really in taking excellent players, and making them better. The club though needed the school outreach programs, and the saturday morning kids clubs, and the junior pathway work. All the things that take young kids, and bring them up. One of the most exciting things for me, was seeing a 13/14 year old kid, start to join the mens teams, and grow up, before your eyes, as they suddenly started being treated like adults. Also interesting watching someone who has played with coached kids all their life, suddenly come across an idiosyncratic 65 year old who has an unorthodox but beautifully honed game.
The value also of a coach being an evangelist for the game, and/or club that they represent is really hard to quantify. Our latest pro was a decent county player, but never played professionally. What she could do though was organise a team of coaches to provide a full range of services across the club, and drive participation and enjoyment within it. To me, that adds so much more value, than seeing a few elite players get a little bit better.
However, the elite coach probably earns more. | |

Done.
I coach sport at a reasonable level and have completed many courses/qualifications as well as worked with professional academies, so do reach out to me if you need any other help.
Cheers. |  |
