An investigation into voluntary cricket coaches use, knowledge and understanding of verbal feedback

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate voluntary cricket coaches’ use, knowledge and understanding of verbal feedback. The coaches’ feedback behaviours were identified using a modified version of the Coach Analysis and Intervention System (CAIS). Supplementary field notes were employed alongside CAIS to contextualise the coaches’ use of verbal feedback. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore each coach’s knowledge and understanding of verbal feedback. The behavioural results showed that all the coaches used General Feedback Positive the most, providing verbal feedback predominantly ‘concurrently’, and mainly towards ‘individuals’. The interviews revealed that the coaches’ knowledge and understanding of verbal feedback derived from past experiences as athletes and observing other coaches.
