Coaching effectiveness is largely affected by the quality of decisions made to accommodate the needs of individuals. Observing individuals within a group to discern important symptoms of training responses and behavioral trends, needs, and variations is usually unreliable, inaccurate, and incomplete. This workshop describes practical and accurate assessment tools that can be used in training and competitive settings without appreciably increasing the workload of the coach. They are designed to provide reliable coach-usable information that should influence program and interactional decisions concerning individual athletes. Employing these devices is proposed as a means of increasing the capability and effectiveness of coaches.

Most of the assessment tools have been developed by Dr. Rushall and his colleagues and cover the following areas.

• Training responses -- ratings of training load, training speed, concentration, two forms of perceived effort, outside-of-sport influences, and fatigue symptoms,
• Competition preparations and analysis -- positive and negative pressure, final status, and de-briefing, and
• Coaching behaviors -- self-assessment of practice behaviors, the Coach Observation Schedule, and athletes' evaluations of the coach.

Modern coaching theory is becoming increasingly complex. New sport science revelations and practices by elite sporting nations indicate that coaching programs have to be up-to-date to be effective. This workshop describes seven principles for coaching advanced athletes, the features that underlie effective coaching systems, and coaching behaviors that indicate a degradation of coaching effort and effectiveness. Participants should gain an understanding of what needs to be done to produce maximized performances in athletes through coaching effectiveness.

• The principle of specificity
• The principle of individuality
• The principle of self-control and the principle of involvement
• The principle of program consolidation and the principle of self-involvement
• The principle of balanced preparation
• The provision of a totally planned system, the maximization of productivity, and the maximization of direction
• The maximization of intrinsic motivation, and the maximization of the instructional process
• The maximization of positive experiences, the maximization of social experiences, and the maximization of progress information
• The transfer of control to the group/self, and the maximization of content variety
• The "aura complex", "Muhammed Ali-ism", simple-mindedness, and the "They're all athletes" model
• Intellectual withdrawal, expedient evaluations, the "re-labelling complex", self-deception, and self-talk and self-importance
• Fault-finding, athlete relegation, "Cold feet" regression, and "It's the government's faultism"
