"ASADA is pleased to provide its support to the research being undertaken by the team at Curtin University with regards to anti-doping education for coaches. We believe strongly in the importance of the research topic, noting the significant role coaches play in developing the culture of their squads and the influence they have on the decisions of their athletes." |
What are the commitments?
The program starts in March 2017. Coaches who register to take part must be available to attend a maximum of two workshops in March-May 2017.
In early 2017 we will randomly assign coaches who have registered to one of two groups:
Coaches and their athletes must complete a short questionnaire prior to the first workshop. We will also ask that coaches and athletes complete a short questionnaire at two additional time-points during the following 6 months. Selected coaches will also be invited to take part in interviews and video-observations (optional). You can withdraw from the program at any time.

Testimonials
Similar coach and instructor education programs grounded in contemporary theories of motivation have previously been developed and delivered by the CoachMADE team. "...very insightful learnings! A great way to shake up some of the habits and ways to think about doing things a little differently. I'm looking forward to the next one now!” “I found it certainly gave me a lot more confidence especially in dealing with the new people. Putting myself in [member's] shoes has really opened up my eyes, so I feel a little bit more confident when I walk in to the studio.” |
Organisations supporting and participating in the project will be acknowledged in the final program report sent to the International Olympic Committee. Results of CoachMADE will enable more efficient and evidence-based educational programs and campaigns to prevent doping through athlete support personnel to be developed |
