Section outline

  • Models are a means of representing both the structure and function of the coaching process. They show the differing dimensions of the process and the ways in which they can interact. There are a number of issues surrounding models, for example, a two dimensional structure, and some researchers and coach educators consider modelling the coaching process to be unrepresentative of actual coaching practice.

    • Develop Your own Coaching Model - 750 word field study report Assignment

      There are various effective coaching models which some coaches choose to use to structure their coaching sessions which can be helpful to guide a logical sequence and provide a framework for your coaching session. Using a model can help in a number of ways:

      • It helps to provide a purpose to the session by defining an outcome at the beginning preventing it becoming a 'chat' with no clear purpose.
      • It can also be a prompt to ensure that the session stays 'on track'. 
      • It can be used to help the planning process
      • It can help the process of self-reflection after the session

      We have examined a number of models but this short assignment requires you to either:

      • Develop your own coaching model based on your individual circumstances
      • Evaluate an existing coaching model that suits your individual circumstances

      You should:

      • Include the coaching model as an Appendix (not included in word count)
      • Explain your rationale for developing your own model or selecting an existing model
      • Refer to current research findings
      • Include a reference list (not included in word count)
      • Include a word count
