The current demands faced by elite sports coaches and the nature of their educational experiences are outlined. Examination of current approaches to coach education are considered in relation to research evidence which describes the key skills required in elite sports coaching. Recently, reflective practice has emerged as a key skill with which to enhance coach learning and increase the value of coaches' educational experiences. In tracing this emergence, this study analyses the use of reflective practice and learning strategies within six governing body award coaching programmes. Results indicate that none of the programmes examined contained structures or processes for directly teaching or overtly nurturing reflective skills. However, almost all programmes offered a potential structure for this through completion of a coaching log or undertaking a period of mentoring. Finally, recommendations are made to coach educators for developing reflection within coach education programme structures.
概述了精英体育教练目前面临的要求及其教育经历的性质。结合描述精英体育教练所需关键技能的研究证据，对当前教练教育方法进行了审视。最近，反思性实践已成为一项关键技能，可用于促进教练学习并提高教练教育经历的价值。在追溯这一技能的出现过程中，本研究分析了六个管理机构授予资格的教练培训项目中反思性实践和学习策略的使用情况。结果表明，所考察的项目中没有一个包含直接教授或公开培养反思技能的结构或流程。然而，几乎所有项目都通过完成教练日志或接受一段时间的指导为此提供了潜在的结构。最后，向教练教育工作者提出了在教练教育项目结构中培养反思能力的建议。
