ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we first argue that current coach education programs and other teaching initiatives somewhat prepare coaches to assume their role; however, they are not suited to help experienced high-performance (HP) coaches in their lifelong learning journey. Second, we introduce the personal learning coach (PLC) as a new actor to help HP coaches learn from their actual coaching practice. By using a narrative-collaborative coaching (NCC) approach, the PLC becomes a learning companion in the co-creation of knowledge for the coach’s coaching practice. Third, we present the procedure used by the first author to conduct NCC with five university team sport coaches. Finally, we conclude by sharing our reflections on the role of PLCs in sport.
