Table 1 Some practices coach developers can use to build expertise in their role
| Practices and ideas | Description |
|---|---|
| 16. Power relations | Power is intrinsic in every relationship, but power is not distributed evenly and it stems from many different sources. The distribution of power can shift within relationships over time. |
| 17. Sharing power | Self-aware coach developers share power through listening to coaches’ needs, avoiding making judgements on their practice, being open minded and conscious of the context in which they work. |
| 18. Hierarchy and status | Coach developers are often highly qualified and experienced coaches which reinforces a perceived hierarchy and status. Taking steps to listen and connect to coaches will help collaborative learning. |
| 19. Reflexivity | This is the process of bending back onto yourself, your actions and behaviours to better understand the identity you project to others. This involves being introspective and knowing yourself well. |
