A coaching philosophy encompasses the guiding principles, values, and beliefs that shape a coach's behavior and approach to the coach-athlete relationship, rather than just strategies for competition. It is developed through self-reflection and personal experiences, requiring coaches to assess their motivations and values. A well-defined philosophy aids in decision-making, provides direction for programs, and enhances the likelihood of success. Hogg outlines a three-step process for its development, emphasizing self-awareness and the importance of testing the philosophy in practice.
