Summary/Abstract: Coach is managing the training process with the aim of successful potential (so-called. «Talent»)developing (improvement) of athletes. The ability to improve relevant characteristics of athletes in certain sports(eg, basketball) is primarily related to the knowledge of all factors (ie. «Equation of success (performance )specification») that this (may) affect. In the center of coaches deliberation is (should be) an athlete, which impliesthe need for individualization of work, which is the opposite – of the work based on the principle of «Procrusteanbed». It is necessary, in addition to the multidisciplinary (embodied in the «equation of specification“), appliedas much as possible inter- and transdisciplinary approach (to know more about less). If the characteristics thatdescribe a good coach should be reduced to two, it would probably be: character (personality) and knowledge.Personality is referred to as primary, because it is less subject to change (the question of selection) thanknowledge - that need to be constantly improved. A necessary (but not sufficient) condition is related to theacquisition of formal education - embodied in an optimal contingent of relevant, interconnected information.The aim is to facilitate the transition to the critical (and criticizing ie, conditionally said: deductive-analytical)thinking instead of the more frequently used («craft» inductive-synthetic) approach «as I was taught.» All thisshould lead to a paradigm shift that it is enough for a coach to be „the best he can «, but that it is necessarythat he works: the best it can be. Feasibility of this is related to the constantly making effort of coachs in theirown development. Gaining awareness of his own ignorance (asking questions: why think about that?) would benecessary first, hardest and the most important step towards the acquisition of knowledge necessary to createcoaching philosophy and successful coach.
