Valmentajan pedagogisten taitojen on havaittu olevan avainasemassa
urheilijoiden tunnekokemusten laadussa, motivaatiossa ja lajitaitojen
hallinnassa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää suomalaisten lasten
jääkiekkovalmentajien näkemyksiä pedagogisten taitojen tärkeydestä heidän
työssään. Tutkimuksessa keskityttiin jääkiekkovalmentajien näkökulmaan, sillä
sitä on toistaiseksi tutkittu vain vähän.
Kyseessä oli laadullinen tutkimus. Tutkimukseen osallistui kahdeksan
viisivuotiaiden jääkiekkoharrastajien valmentajaa. Osallistujat oli valittu eri
puolilta Suomea ja heillä oli erilaiset taustat jääkiekon ja valmentamisen parissa.
Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin teemahaastatteluiden avulla. Aineisto
analysoitiin refleksiivisellä teema-analyysillä.
Tutkimuksen tulokset osoittivat, että valmentajat olivat yksimielisiä siitä,
että lasten jääkiekkovalmentajat tarvitsevat pedagogisia taitoja työssään.
Tarvittavat pedagogiset taidot jaettiin seuraavien pääteemojen alle:
valmennuksen suunnittelu, valmennuksen toteuttaminen ja jatkuva itsensä
kehittäminen valmentajan työn monipuolisen roolin täyttämiseksi. Valmentajat
tarvitsivat pedagogisia taitoja innostaakseen lapsia liikkumaan ja opettaakseen
lapsille terveellistä elämäntapaa, sosiaalisia taitoja sekä elämänarvoja. Lasten
jääkiekkovalmentajien pedagogisen koulutuksen tarve korostui. Tutkimusta
voidaan hyödyntää esimerkiksi juniorijääkiekkovalmennuksen kehittämisessä.

This was a qualitative study. Eight coaches of five-year-old hockey
enthusiasts participated in the study. The participants were selected from
different parts of Finland, and they had diverse coaching and ice hockey
backgrounds. The data collection method used in the study was thematic
interviews. The data was analyzed through reflexive thematic analysis.
The results of the study showed that the coaches were unanimous in their
opinion that children's ice hockey coaches need pedagogical skills in their work.
The pedagogical skills needed were grouped under following main themes:
planning coaching, implementing coaching, and continuous self-development to
meet the demands of the diverse role of a coach. Coaches needed pedagogical
skills for encouraging children into physical activity and in teaching children
healthy lifestyle, social skills, and life values. The necessity of pedagogical
education for children´s ice hockey coaches was stated. The study can be utilized
for example in the development of junior ice hockey coaching education.
