Development of a Life Skills Self-Assessment Tool for Coaches

Abstract: Researchers have been increasingly interested in exploring how coaches can be best supported to explicitly teach life skills through sport. The purpose of the present paper is to describe the process of developing the Life Skills Self-Assessment Tool for Coaches. The tool represents a knowledge product designed for practical use on the ground, anchored in theory and backed by empirical support. The tool is available in four languages and accompanied by a "how-to" video, thereby enabling more coaches from aroun… Show more

“…Additionally, the 22 items were not a deterrent (too long) for the coaches to complete, as none of the coaches commented/complained about its length, even as they systematically reviewed each item while progressing through the slide deck during the interview. Thus, as a practical tool, the AOSCS appears to meet Kramers et al's (2021) recommendation to be concise, while also psychometrically valid. We further submit that the AOSCS is of suitable length and that its content resonates with the athletic population, avoiding two risk factors to survey usability in sport (Horvath & Röthlin, 2018).…”

“…This tool was an easy-to-use formative assessment, which the authors noted may have benefitted from coaches' understanding and explanations of how their actions informed their motivations. Kramers et al (2021) developed the Life Skills Self-Assessment Tool for Coaches used to help coaches understand how intentionally they teach life skills in youth sport. The authors noted they needed to revise the tool to be more concise to make it practical for coaches to use.…”

“…Por lo cual, la utilización de esta estrategia por parte del entrenador es vista como fundamental para lograr los objetivos del programa, ya que enseña de forma explícita las habilidades y cómo llevarla a otro contexto (Kramers et al, 2021). Se considera un área de oportunidad del presente estudio, reforzar el uso de las analogías de transferencia por parte de los entrenadores.…”

“…Por ello, la persona que esté como encargada de las actividades, entrenador o entrenadora, tiene un papel fundamental para que las dinámicas de grupo propicien relaciones positivas y un clima del programa adecuado para el aprendizaje de habilidades deportivas pero también habilidades de vida, las cuales deben de ser enseñadas de manera explícita e integrar dinámicas de reflexión que ayuden al participante a identificarlas y así transferirlas a otros contextos más allá del deportivo, como puede ser la escuela o el hogar (Kramers et al, 2021).…”

“…De acuerdo con Gould y Carson (2008), una "habilidad para la vida" en el contexto deportivo se define como "aquellas capacidades y habilidades personales como el establecimiento de metas, el control emocional, la autoestima o la conciencia ética, que pueden ser facilitados o desarrollados en el deporte y son transferidos para su uso en entornos no deportivos" (p. 60). Tal como lo señalan Kramers et al (2021), un componente clave dentro de la definición ofrecida por Gould es la transferencia, entendida por Pierce et al (2017) como el proceso continuo por el cual un individuo va desarrollando o aprende e internaliza una serie de recursos personales (por ejemplo: habilidades psicosociales, conocimiento, disposición, identidad construcción o transformación) en el deporte y luego experimenta un cambio personal a través de utilización de dichos recursos en uno o más escenarios de vida más allá del contexto donde originalmente desarrollo el aprendizaje (p. 194).…”
