Sport is permanently developing and changing field of life. The competitive nature of sport itself sets the demands to update continuously the coaching methodology, techniques and tactics. From the other hand the international sports federations are working constantly to make their disciplines more attractive for the public and more competitive in comparison to other sports. The rules are updated, new competition formats developed and the requirements for the sports equipment changed which subsequently cause the changes in coaching methodologies.
The changes, launched initially mostly in elite sports are transmitted to the youth and hobby sports shortly and so influence the work of all coaches regardless the target groups. In order to keep the coaches’ competence in state of art and to ensure the quality of coaching, the further education and regular refreshment courses for coaches are inevitable.
