Resumen

Introducción: El entrenador deportivo trasciende la técnica, integrando competencias cognitivas, emocionales y sociales que impulsan el desarrollo integral del atleta. Ante la falta de estandarización en el proceso educativo y el reconocimiento profesional del entrenador, una herramienta de evaluación de las competencias puede orientar la formación y mejorar la práctica del coaching.

Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio era analizar las competencias funcionales de los entrenadores en relación con sus características individuales, educativas y deportivas.

Metodología: En primer lugar, desarrollamos y validamos el Cuestionario de Competencias Funcionales del Entrenador, un instrumento de 18 ítems organizado en seis dimensiones. Utilizando esta herramienta, recopilamos las respuestas de 332 entrenadores de todo el país. Los datos se analizaron mediante un análisis de regresión bayesiano multinivel.

Resultados: Los resultados indicaron que el tipo de educación superior, el grupo de edad y el nivel competitivo influían en las competencias funcionales de los entrenadores. No se observaron efectos sustanciales en cuanto al género o la experiencia deportiva previa.

Discusión: El estudio mostró que las competencias funcionales de los entrenadores dependen de la edad, el nivel académico y el nivel competitivo. Los entrenadores mayores y con formación en Educación Física o Ciencias del Deporte demostraron mayores competencias, mientras que la madurez, la experiencia práctica y la formación continua resultaron claves para su desarrollo profesional.

Conclusiones: Estos hallazgos pueden apoyar la formación de entrenadores al ofrecer un marco para evaluar competencias, identificar áreas de mejora y orientar el diseño de programas educativos que favorezcan el desarrollo y seguimiento continuo de las competencias profesionales.
