2022 (English)In: Coach Education in Football: Contemporary Issues and Global Perspectives / [ed] Thomas Leeder, New York, NY: Taylor & Francis, 2022, 1, p. 101-112Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

Sweden has a culture of club sport based on voluntary leadership, with sport being organised as part of a civil society. Each year, approximately 10,000 youth football coaches participate in coach education programmes within their leisure time, with courses being divided into two strands: youth coaching and senior coaching. These are harmonised with the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) standards. Specifically, the youth coach education strand consists of three levels of course packages (UEFA C, B, and the Elite Youth A), to support coaches within their specific role on developing youth footballers. The aim of this chapter is to understand youth football coaches' perspectives on coach education, learning, and support systems in Sweden through utilising secondary analysis and combining the findings of two existing studies on coach support and coach education (Hertting, 2019; Hertting and Kostenius, 2016). The use of secondary analysis helps to synthesise the key issues related to coach education, learning, and support for youth football coaches in Sweden, while identifying recommendations to enhance current provision further. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Thomas M. Leeder; individual chapters, the contributors.
