DEVELOPING DECISION MAKERS: AN EMPOWERMENT APPROACH TO COACHING – A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THEORY, PRACTICE, AND TRANSFORMATION

Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the empowerment approach to coaching, as articulated in the foundational text Developing Decision Makers: An Empowerment Approach to Coaching (Kidman, 2001). It positions this approach not merely as a collection of pedagogical techniques but as a coherent philosophical and ethical framework aimed at fundamentally transforming the traditional coach-athlete dynamic. The central thesis is that the primary purpose of coaching, beyond skill acquisition and competitive success, is to cultivate autonomous, critical-thinking athletes capable of effective decision-making both within and beyond the sporting arena. The article traces the historical evolution of coaching from authoritarian, coach-centred models to more humanistic and athlete-centred paradigms, culminating in the explicit formulation of empowerment as a coaching philosophy. It establishes the critical need for this paradigm shift by examining the limitations of directive coaching in complex performance environments, the psychological and developmental needs of modern athletes, and the ethical imperative for coaches to foster athlete agency. Through a methodology of conceptual synthesis and critical interpretation, the article deconstructs the empowerment framework, exploring its core principles—including athlete ownership, democratic participation, and holistic development—and its practical expression through pedagogical strategies such as questioning, reflection, and shared leadership. It rigorously examines the significant challenges to implementation, including deep-seated cultural resistance, coach identity conflicts, and the perceived performance-autonomy paradox. The article concludes that the empowerment approach represents a radical re-imagining of coaching as a facilitative and liberating practice. Future directions call for nuanced, context-sensitive research, the development of sophisticated coach education models, and a broader cultural shift within sporting institutions to value athlete voice and long-term development over short-term, coach-dependent outcomes.
