  • Olympic Sports Coaching Education
    OLMYPIC SPORTS COACHING EDUCATION: AN INTERNATIONAL COACH’S PERSPECTIVE Cameron Kiosoglous, Ph.D.1 ABSTRACT: The profession of high performance sports coaching is a complex process focused on performance improvement with the goal of producing international sporting success. Rising demand for top-level coaches has been matched with the increasing amount of resources allocated to producing world- class performances. This includes creating and sustaining a culture of learning and competition. For a foreign coach, the culture of an adopted country can differ dramatically from that in their homeland. This discussion explores the challenges and opportunities an expatriate coach may experience in an effort to succeed in an adopted nation at the highest level of competition. Keywords: high performance coaching, coaching education, expatriate coaching The professionalization of sports coaching has evolved in recent years but hiring coaches dates back to the mid-19th century. The Yale Rowing team hired William Wood in 1864 as the first intercollegiate coach in the U.S. to help them beat its rival Harvard (Dealy, 1990). With the increases in professionalization of sport around the world, there are no signs of slowdown in the increase in resources allocated to sport at all levels (Hong & Zhouxiang, 2016). The following data illustrated the state of play at the Olympic level of competition after the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. For participation at the Olympics, since the 1970’s, the growth of Olympic Games has been on many levels. The total number of events increased from 198 in Montreal to 306 in Rio in 2016 and as a result, the total athletes have increased from 600 in 1976 (Montreal) to over 10500 in 2016 (Rio) (IOC, 2016).

  • The IOC AC's Recommendations on Rule 50
    The IOC AC’s recommendations on Rule 50 Q&A document What is Rule 50 and why is it in place? The aim of Rule 50 is that each and every athlete can enjoy the experience of the Olympic Games without any divisive disruption. Rule 50 provides a framework to protect the neutrality of sport and the Olympic Games and strives to ensure that the focus at the Olympic Games remains on athletes’ performances, sport, unity and universality. Currently, in addition to the framework that applies during the Games with regard to commercial promotion, Rule 50 states that: “No kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas”. Why did the IOC AC decide to start this consultation? In June 2020, following the publication by the IOC Executive Board of a resolution condemning discrimination in the strongest possible terms, the IOC Athletes’ Commission (AC) was tasked with exploring additional ways of how Olympic athletes could express their support for the principles enshrined in the Olympic Charter, including during the Olympic Games, while respecting the Olympic spirit. What were the already existing opportunities for athletes to express their views? A wide range of opportunities for athletes to express their views at the Olympic Games existed already before the consultation. They include: • in official press conferences, • through social and traditional media, and • at mixed zones in competition venues. In non-Olympic venues, there are no restrictions, except for those resulting from local laws and regulations. What are the recommendations proposed by the IOC AC? 1.
