Strategic Player Development: A Systems Approach for Coaches
This presentation highlights the design and development of a coach-centered online course focused on intentional player development systems. The course was created for collegiate and competitive-level coaches seeking to structure holistic athlete growth through aligned practice design, skill progression, data analysis, mental training, and reflective feedback systems. Grounded in principles of adult learning, constructivism, and systems thinking, the course integrates interactive tools such as Padlet discussions, structured reflection templates, and performance analysis assignments to promote applied learning.
