“…Furthermore, universities and polytechnic institutes may also certify coaches via graduate and post-graduate programs within the field of sport sciences. This is the prevalent approach across European countries, but also in other countries such as Brazil ( Gaion et al, 2020 ).…”

In this article we aim to provide insights about the challenges stakeholders in Portugal and across the globe may face throughout the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic to reorganize coach training programs and suggest strategies to help coaches learn. Such reflection may help stakeholders across socio-cultural contexts consider the consequences of the changes made to coach training programs, the rationale for these decisions and the need to acknowledge existent challenges such as lower course completion rates, pressures to deliver the curriculum and dilemmatic decisions about course format. Furthermore, we also suggest pathways for stakeholders to develop strategies that consider contextual variables and contribute to meaningful learning. Based on the Portuguese context, several issues are discussed.

COVID-19 pandemic has halted fast-forwarding activities of the world. Everything has been confined to homes with limited physical activity. The imposition of lockdowns has paralyzed activities and public interaction. Consequently, physical fitness has been disadvantaged compromising public health. Restrictions of COVID-19 also put down coaching and sports. Physical training and interaction between players and coaches are significant to improve players performance. The sports sector affected by pandemics due to the low-level education of the players and coaches and lacking knowledge of modern training programs. Technological illiteracy has also added to the adversity, preventing players from getting effective benefits from online training programs. This study explores the challenges to coaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research also explores a comparison between direct coaching and online training in this regard. The research emphasizes the scope of maintaining physical fitness during pandemics. Findings of the interview conclude that Covid-19 has compromised the coaching and sports performance of athletes, and concepts like distance training remain ineffective due to the purely physical nature of the matter.

“…Within the Brazilian context, national certification programs are not as readily available to coaches as they are in Canada and in Europe (Gaion et al, 2020;Resende, Sequeira, & Sarmento, 2016), which may hinder coaches' ability to promote PD. Moreover, mainstream coach education programs are not compulsory as coaches are not formally obliged to attend specific workshops that include PD content.…”

“…Instead, all coaches need to have at least a degree in physical education and workshops are only offered in some sports. For instance, Gaion et al (2020) alluded to the fact PD is considered an important objective across sport contexts in Brazil, however policy makers and sport leaders still struggle in supporting coaches so they can pursue PD outcomes (Gaion et al, 2020). In Brazil, coach education is more flexible in nature and opportunities are provided for coaches based on sport associations' priorities which may vary depending on the sport and context.…”

In recent years, the role of coaches in fostering Positive Development (PD) has been explored within the context of university sport. However, research in non-English speaking countries such as Brazil, which is highly representative of university sport in Latin America, is still scarce. The purpose of this study was to analyze Brazilian coaches' perceptions of their role in facilitating PD within university sport. In total, 16 university coaches from all regions of Brazil were interviewed (14 male and 2 female). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Findings showed that coaches perceived university sport as a conducive platform for fostering both performance and PD outcomes. However, the coaches found it difficult to articulate PD strategies and identified challenges such as lack of time and organizational support. The present study suggests that PD is not well integrated within the current model of university sport in Brazil and highlights a potential need for PD-focused coach education programs. Resumen. En los últimos años, se ha explorado el papel de los entrenadores en el fomento del desarrollo positivo (DP) en el contexto del deporte universitario. Sin embargo, la investigación en países que no hablan inglés como Brasil, que es altamente representativo del deporte universitario en América Latina, aún es escasa. El propósito de este estudio fue analizar las percepciones de los entrenadores brasileños sobre su papel en la facilitación del DP dentro del deporte universitario. En total, fueran entrevistados16 entrenadores universitarios (14 hombres y 2 mujeres) de todas las regiones de Brasil. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados mostraron que los entrenadores percibían el deporte universitario como una plataforma propicia para fomentar tanto el rendimiento como el DP. Sin embargo, a los entrenadores les resultó difícil articular estrategias de DP e identificaron desafíos como la falta de tiempo y el apoyo organizacional. El presente estudio sugiere que lo DP no está bien integrada en el modelo actual del deporte universitario en Brasil y destaca la necesidad potencial de programas de educación para el entrenador centrados en DP.
