A coach’s role is not only that of a trainer, but also of an educator, teacher, psychologist, manager, consultant, animator, technologist, masseur, physiotherapist, etc. In order to successfully perform the professional role of a coach a person must first acquire the proper education and specific professional competence in a chosen sport or form of sports activity. This fairly broad variety of professional competences calls for a substantial leap forward from the current understanding of the system of professional training.
