World Sailing Coaching Framework
The International Sport Coaching Framework has been prepared in partnership by leading national and international thought leaders following a process of development and consultation that commenced in April 2011.
The International Sport Coaching Framework partners are:
- The International Council for Coaching Excellence (ICCE)
- The Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF)
- Leeds Metropolitan University (LMU)
- The World Anti-doping Agency (WADA)
- IOC Entourage Commission (EC)
- IOC Olympic Solidarity (OS)
About the Framework
This initiative signals a new and collaborative effort to recognise and support the role of coaches at all levels of sport across the globe, providing the basis for initial implementation and further worldwide development and consultation from those parties involved.
As an International Sport Federation, World Sailing has identified that with a growing appreciation of coaching and the challenges that accompany the role of the coach, the sailing community and all of our key stakeholders now recognise the need for a common set of criteria to inform the development and subsequent certification/qualification of coaches within sailing at both national and international level.
The World Sailing Coaching Framework aims to provide all Member National Authorities (MNAs) a common ground for developing and evaluating coaching qualifications, encouraging coach education and training, working across international boundaries and establishing ethical guidelines and models for standards of international best practice.
The focus with this framework is on the competencies of each role and not their title which can be amended to suit each member as they see fit for purpose.
