The 4 roles of a sports coach I am going to talk about it are for them to be a motivator, an organiser, a mentor and a role model.
Motivator – a good motivator is someone who’s their who’s able to enthuse a team and who’s able to influence them to play their best. A motivator is there to drive their team to achieve their aims. Sports coaches are extrinsic motivators, extrinsic motivation comes from a source outside of the performer. These are things which can encourage the athlete to perform. Diego Maradona was a good sports motivator for Argentina as all the players looked up to him, and want to be able to lay as well as he did.
Organiser – a coach must act as an organiser by preparing training plans for each athlete and organise when the team is meeting up and has matches etc. You will need to plan how to manage the athletes, equipment and area.
Mentor – When athletes attend training sessions you are responsible, to their parents and family, for ensuring that they are safe and secure. You have to monitor their health and safety whilst training and support them should they have any problems or sustain any injuries.
Role model – A person who serves as a model in a particular behavioural or social role for another person to emulate. The way you conduct yourself whilst in the presence of your athletes provides an example of how they should behave - what sort of example should we be providing to someone else's children? Perhaps one of the most important roles of a coach.
The 4 responsibilities of a sports coach will be the duty of care, first aid, keeping records and insurance.
