چکیده
The purpose of the study was to identify the level of coaching efficacy among a group of high school coaches so as to gain an insight for planning future coach preparation programs. In this study, the Coaching Efficacy Scale was used to assess the efficacy of high school coaches in four dimensions: Motivating Athletes, Strategy Use, Coaching Techniques, and Character Building. Results indicated that the dimension in which the participating coaches felt most efficacious was Character Building whereas the dimension in which they felt the least efficacious was Strategy Use. The application of this finding to coach preparation programs was discussed.
