Topics include:

• Physical preparation as a coaching standard independent of results
• Development vs. High Performance vs. Elite coaching: a continuum
• Why development coaching is, in some ways, more difficult than elite coaching and vice-versa
• Success, injury history and retention of trainability as clear definitions and standards for evaluating developmental coaching
• Developmental coaching as a specialized form of coaching
