The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of English Football Association (FA) qualification level on coaches’ behaviours during soccer matches using a mixed methods approach. Coaches qualified by the FA at level 1 (n=5), level 2 (n=5), Union of European Football Associations B (UEFA B) (n=5) and UEFA A (n=5) agreed to participate. A grand total of 57,384 behaviours were recorded using the coach analysis intervention system and subsequently each coach was interviewed for a mean duration of 29±11 minutes. Level 1 and level 2 qualified coaches used convergent questions at a higher percentage of total behaviours in comparison to UEFA B and UEFA A licenced coaches (p<.05). UEFA A licenced coaches used scolds at a higher percentage of total behaviours when compared to level 1 qualified coaches (p<.05). Qualification level had no effect on coaches’ rationale for using the behaviours they did. Collectively, these results may indicate that coaches with higher qualifications have higher expectations of player’s performance. However, this effect could be attributed to performance standard differences, as highly qualified coaches tend to work with players who compete for teams of higher performance standard.

The research investigates coach education, how this education and learning is applied in practice and athlete perception of coaching behaviours. A mixed methods approach was used throughout the research which initially examined coaches' academic and coach education backgrounds through an online survey followed by a semi-structured interview. The next phase of this research examined how high performance coaches applied their learning through observation of the coach in both training and competition over the course of one season. Coaching behaviour was both quantitatively and qualitatively analysed to examine the total number and rate of instructions per minute and questioning by the coach. Furthermore, data were also collected to analyse the athletes’ perceptions of the coaching behaviour at three different time-points over the course of the same season. The results showed coaches preferred an informal rather than formal coach learning situation and that the current coach educati...

An investigation of the practice activities and coaching behaviors of professional top-level youth soccer coaches2011 •
The aim of this study was to investigate the coaching behaviors of elite English youth soccer coaches in different practice settings and gain insight into the coaches’ cognitive processes underpinning these behaviors. The practice setting was split into two types of activities, “training form” and “playing form,” and behavioral data were collected using a modified version of the Coach Analysis and Intervention System. Interpretive interview data were triangulated with the behavioral data to ensure that both the “what” and the “why” of the coaches’ behavior and practice were considered. The results showed the coaches using more “training form” activities than “playing form,” and using high levels of prescriptive instruction, regardless of practice type, in contrast to a stated desire to “developing the whole player,” creating “decision makers,” and being a “facilitator of knowledge creation.” The interviews revealed that the coaches had a low self-awareness about their behavior, with an epistemological gap identified between understanding and practice, with statements of intent not being matched by knowledge and action.
