Set Vision, Goals and Standards

 
Sport coaches establish a clearly defined coaching philosophy and vision for their program. They develop, implement and manage the goals for the program, in collaboration with sport program directors. To meet this responsibility sport coaches:
 
Standard 1: Develop and enact an athlete-centered coaching philosophy.
Focusing on the development of the whole athlete, sport coaches prioritize opportunities for development over winning at all costs. Sport coaches provide opportunities for athletes to reach their full potential within the sport.
 
Standard 2: Use long-term athlete development with the intent to develop athletic potential, enhance physical literacy, and encourage lifelong physical activity.
Sport coaches understand and implement developmentally appropriate principles associated with long-term athlete development (e.g., American Development Model).
 
Standard 3: Create a unified vision using strategic planning and goal-setting principles.
Sport coaches create and implement goals important to the physical, behavioral and social development of the athlete. The goals are aligned with the program vision, coaching philosophy, and long-term athlete development.
 
Standard 4: Align program with all rules and regulations and needs of the community and individual athletes.
Sport coaches follow the applicable national, regional, local and institutional rules and regulations to ensure the program is in compliance and eligible to compete. Sport coaches also align the program with the needs of the community and individual athletes.
 
Standard 5: Manage program resources in a responsible manner.
Sport coaches manage program documents. They have a basic understanding of fiscal and facility management specific to their program.
