Competency-Based Education and training (CBET):
Embarking upon a transition toward a competency-based approach to coach training and certification means that the NCCP is moving towards being a program based on coaching abilities. In contrast, the current NCCP places a significant emphasis on gaining information and knowledge. In other words, once the transition to a competency-based approach is complete,
the NCCP will be a program that trains and certifies coaches based on proven abilities to "DO" certain things deemed important to meet the needs of the participants they coach. These changes will result in significant improvements to the NCCP.
The new structure of the NCCP is designed to take into account the different types of coaches who contribute to the Canadian sport system and the environment or context in which they coach.
Sport North currently coordinates the Introduction to Competition Part A & Part B courses, which involve generic information that is applicable to all sports. Sport specific courses are provided by each Territorial Sport Organization and all National Sport Federations are currently in transition.
INTRODUCTION TO COMPETITION - PART A deals with:
Make Ethical Decisions
Analyze a situation that has moral implications. Determine whether the situation has legal or ethical implications. Identify the ethical issues in the situation. Apply the NCCP ethical decision-making framework to respond to an ethical situation adapted to the context, and produce a response that is consistent with the NCCP Code of Ethics.
Planning a Practice
Organize activities within a practice plan that is well-structured, adapted to the participants’ age, and reflects safety considerations. Distribute activities appropriately in the various parts of the practice. Identify potential risk factors for the sport and the activities. Design an emergency action plan. Identify suitable practice goals. Design activities that have appropriate characteristics for the sport, the age group, and the proficiency level of participants. Design activities in such a way as to obtain certain training effects on the athletic abilities required in the sport.
Nutrition
Assess whether foods and beverages consumed by athletes before, during, and after training or competition are adequate, and offer suggestions pertaining to suitable alternatives where necessary. Design strategies to influence parents and athletes in order to promote food choices that are consistent with basic sport nutrition principles.
INTRODUCTION TO COMPETITION - PART B deals with:
Design a Basic Sport Program
Outline the structure of the sport program using training and competition events. Compare the major orientations of the coach’s own program to those proposed by the NCCP in terms of long-term athlete development. Assess the athletic development opportunities offered through the program, and identify possible options to address identified weaknesses. Interpret information contained in a sample program designed for a family of sports and identify training priorities and objectives at certain periods. Establish a link between a program’s training priorities and objectives and the content of practice sessions on a weekly and daily basis.
Teaching and Leaning
Assess own beliefs regarding effective teaching. Analyze certain coaching situations to determine whether or not they promote learning. Create conditions that promote learning and self-esteem through (1) appropriate consideration of the affective, cognitive, and motor dimensions of learning; (2) use of words and methods that relate to the athlete’s preferred learning style; (3) a sound organization; (4) active supervision; and (5) provision of feedback that is well-formulated, and offered at the right time and frequency. Use teaching assessment grids to gather objective information on teaching effectiveness. Interpret these data to develop an action plan to enhance teaching effectiveness.
Basic Mental Skills
Recognize certain signs showing that an athlete may need to improve his/her skills in areas such
as goal setting, focus, and anxiety control. Develop an action plan that will enable the athlete to
improve in these areas. Run simple guided activities that will enable the athlete to improve these
basic mental skills.
MATERIALS: Each multi-sport module has three documents – coach workbook, reference material and facilitator guide.
Competition – Introduction:
On April 1 2004, CAC launched Competition – Introduction, a series of multi-sport modules for coaches who train children or adolescents basic sport skills in a fun and safe environment and who are preparing them for local and/or regional competitions. These modules will replace the old
Levels 1 and 2 Theory courses and are the first step towards a competency-based approach to coach education and training.
Competition – Introduction Part A and Part B training consists of one weekend for each part and is offered through Sport North Federation in the Northwest Territories. Competition – Introduction Part A and Part B training opportunities will supplement sport-specific training opportunities that Territorial Sport Organizations (TSOs) offer. Some sports may choose to integrate elements of Competition – Introduction Part A or Part B training into their sport-specific courses. Check with your TSO for more information.
Coaches can become certified in the Competition – Introduction context through an evaluation process managed and coordinated by their TSO. As a minimum NCCP evaluation requirement, coaches will demonstrate, to a pre-defined standard that they can:
• make ethical decisions,
• provide support to athletes in training, and
• demonstrate two additional coaching outcomes as designated by the National Sport Federation.
