An Integrative Definition of Coaching Effectiveness and Expertise (2009, methodology): “[92] used the DMSP to propose a typology of four different categories of coaches based on developmentally appropriate sport contexts: (a) participation coaches for children (sampling years), (b) participation coaches for adolescents and adults (recreational years), (c) performance coaches for young ”
Positive Youth Development: A Measurement Framework for Sport (2012, background): “Côté and Gilbert [9], for example, suggested the use of a typology originally put forth by Côté et al. [14], which divides coaches into four contexts based on a participation-performance continuum and the varying developmental stages of athletes.”
Gaining Insight into Actual and Preferred Sources of Coaching Knowledge (2008, background): “Perhaps the current content of formal coach education courses is more applicable to the developmental context, working with non- or pre-elite athletes where the primary focus is more on skill development rather than elite performance [1, 25, 32].”
