Management, administrative and other
This category included a range of different items
that did not fit neatly into the above categories.
There were nine items in total, presented in the box
below.
Management, administrative and other
A. Managing or leading other coaches, volunteers
or helpers
B. Undertaking administrative duties
C. Organising own time effectively
D. Managing accounts or tax affairs
E. Finding solutions to problems
F. Ability to cope with change
G. Using information and digital technology
H. Managing personal stress
I. Marketing and promoting the sport/activity.
Organising own time effectively and finding
solutions to problems were regarded as the most
important factors for the successful performance of
the role (mean scores of 3.67 and 3.61 respectively).
Respondents also reported they demonstrated these
skills very or quite well (mean scores of 3.21 and
3.39 respectively).
Managing accounts or tax affairs and marketing
and promoting the sport/activity were seen as
the least important (mean scores of 2.48 and 3.10
respectively) and respondents reported they were
least likely to demonstrate these items very or quite
well (mean scores of 2.63 and 2.98 respectively).
The items with the greatest differences between
scores and therefore key priorities for future
learning and development are:
• organising own time effectively
• managing personal stress
• ability to cope with change.
Using information and digital technology and
undertaking administrative duties had the smallest
difference between scores and therefore the lowest
need in terms of future learning and development.
