Coaches contribute toward helping older adults achieve quality sport experiences, but there are few resources grounded in adult-oriented psychosocial approaches from which they can learn. The purpose of this Participatory Action Research study was to facilitate a personalized professional development program for a Colombian football (soccer) league of older adult men using an evidence-based self-assessment tool for Masters coaches. Data were collected from 23 coaches, who were also players in the league, via interviews, workshops, and observations. Data were analyzed via reflective thematic analysis that aimed to understand coaches' perceptions of how they learned through the workshops and how they implemented what they learned into their coaching. Findings indicate that personalized professional development enabled better structured leadership in the league, creating Quality Masters Sport Experiences.
教练在帮助老年人获得优质运动体验方面发挥着重要作用，但他们可以学习的资源很少，这些资源都是基于成人导向的心理社会方法。本参与式行动研究的目的是利用针对大师级教练的循证自我评估工具，为哥伦比亚老年男子足球联赛提供个性化的专业发展计划。通过访谈、研讨会和观察，从 23 名既是联盟球员又是教练的数据中收集数据。通过反思性主题分析对数据进行分析，旨在了解教练对他们如何通过研讨会学习以及他们如何将所学内容应用到教练工作中的看法。研究结果表明，个性化的专业发展使联盟中的领导力更加结构化，创造了优质的大师运动体验。
