Table 1 Some practices coach developers can use to build expertise in their role
| Practices and ideas | Description |
|---|---|
| 28. Observational focus | Your observational gaze can be influenced by the presence or otherwise of observational criteria or a checklist that influences what is and what is not seen. |
| 29. Systematic observation | A method, if used methodically and rigorously, that can provide detailed and often numerical data about the behaviours and actions of coaches. |
| 30. Planning for observation | Observational visits need to be well planned and organised beforehand to be optimised. |
| 31. Discussing feedback | Acting on feedback is influenced not by content but how the coach receives it. Carefully thinking through language and how it is discussed helps encourage coaches to be receptive. |
| 32. Peer-to-peer feedback | Feedback between colleagues is a mutually beneficial learning process that should be encouraged as a continuous aspect of learning and development. |
