Abstract:
This study aimed to assess the perceived effectiveness of sports coaching practices among higher education teaching personnel and identify challenges, problems, and training needs. Conducted at Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College in September 2023, this quantitative research involved 33 personnel coaches and 138 student-athletes as respondents. The study sought to answer key questions, including the profiles of teacher and athlete respondents, the perceived effectiveness of coaching practices, and the relationships between respondents’ profiles and perceived coaching effectiveness. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, mean, and t-tests were employed to analyze data. Results revealed the need for continuous development in sports coaching practices among teaching personnel. Recommendations included encouraging coaches to attend specialized training to enhance their coaching techniques and strategies, developing innovative coaching training programs to improve coaching competencies, and organizing seminars and workshops to expand knowledge and skills in sports coaching. The findings provide a basis for creating structured training programs to address the identified gaps and further improve the coaching effectiveness of higher education personnel. This study underscores the importance of equipping coaches with modern and innovative approaches to foster athlete development and performance.
