Detailed Course Content
Knowledge, skills and didactic competences of the sports coach. The responsibilities of the sports coach. Côtè Developmental Model of Sport Participation. The concept of expertise, deliberate practice, deliberate play and perfectionism. Perceptual, cognitive and motor skills and terms used in motor and sports sciences. The concept of variability. Teaching styles and methods. General characteristics of sports games: team sports as complex dynamic systems. Non-linear pedagogy. Physical and informational constraints that characterize team sports: the constraints-led approach (CLA); the constraints-led approach for creating training exercises; Sports classification; the functional structure of sports games. Motor control and the prerequisites for learning: top down and bottom up processing. Cognitivist and ecological dynamic approach for motor control and learning: schema theory and dynamic systems theory. The concept of affordance in sport. Degrees of freedom, synergies and motor variability. Motor learning: the performance characteristics that indicate learning; the stages of motor learning in the cognitive approach and in the dynamic-ecological approach. The phases of the didactic process. The pre-active phase: planning of activities, evaluation, objectives, contents and activities; the organization of the practice and contextual interference; the training plan. The interactive phase: characteristics of the explanation of the demonstration and of the organization in the field; conducting the training and the game; the observation process; the comunication; proxemics; types of feedback and how to manage them (coaching skills). The evaluation phase: the moments of the evaluation; qualitative and quantitative evaluation; the evaluation of sporting technique; objective and subjective factors of the evaluation of the technique; technical variability in evaluation: noise or adaptive process; mistakes in sport. Movement time, attention, reaction capacity, Hick's law and the ability to anticipate for the study of feints; classification of feints; functional analysis of the feints; the psychological refractory period. Sports technique and technical training: technical effectiveness; acquisition training and application training. Strategy and tactics in sport: strategic planning; predefined and non-predefined behaviors; preordained actions; the training of tactics; situational training. Issues related to performance in team sports: representative learning; tactical creativity; the complementary nature of technical and tactical behavior; self-organization in team sports. Decision-making skills and their training; the heuristics; the Game-Centered Approach and the resulting models.
