Feedback. When you received your training as a coach, you probably received supervised feedback to help you unlearn old habits and learn new ones. Where is your feedback coming from now?
Pinpoint areas for improvement. Identify the specific microskill(s) where you can improve, and design a personalized plan to increase your competence in this area. For example, if you are a competitive swimmer, you need to look at all aspects of your performance. You may discover that where you are losing time is in the turns...so you can work on that dimension to improve your capacity as a swimmer. Same for coaching.
Qualitative Research. Dr. Robert Logan and Dr. Gary Reinecke conducted an international qualitative research project mentored by Dr. Charles Ridley to determine the competencies of excellent Christian coaches. The nine competencies can be organized into three categories:
Foundational: Abiding in Christ, Self-assessing, Communicating
Relational: Establishing, Supporting, Concluding
Strategic: Diagnosing, Planning, Monitoring
Each competency is defined by 5-7 specific behavioral dimensions called microskills. The research results and resources for increasing your effectiveness as a coach can be found in Developing Coaching Excellence by Robert E. Logan and Gary B. Reinecke (ChurchSmart Resources, 2003).
Validity and Reliability. Building on the results of the qualitative research project, Logan and Reinecke then designed an online questionnaire to be completed by the coach and others (those being coached, peers, and/or supervisors). The questions for use in this survey were selected scientifically by conducting a reliability test (Cronbach) on the pilot data. Further tests will be conducted with new data to verify how high scores correlate with coaches' performance.
