The current study is a piece from the original project entitled “Diagnosis of the Artistic Gymnastics Development Program in Brazil”. Among others issues, the coaching philosophy of coaches who are developing gymnasts that may be representative of the national team was a matter of analysis. We interviewed 46 coaches from 29 sports institutions in Brazil. As data collection we used a semi-structured interview and for data treatment we adopted the content analysis method of Bardin (2010). We have found out that there is an inconsistent philosophical basis, and in many institutions this has been mixed up with the objectives of the training program or just doesn’t exist. This fact needs consideration and criticism, but we know that the coaching philosophy is not developed during the coaching education courses.Downloads
