Sažetak

The present study examined the reproducibility of coaches’ observations concerning the behavioural performance in running target shooting. The participants of the study were three male shooting coaches. The coaches had different coaching experience and education. At the time of the study one coach worked as Olympic team head coach (twenty years of experience), the other as Olympic team assistant coach (seven years of experience) and the third one as junior elite coach (two years of experience). The coaches’ task was to evaluate the running target shooting technique of 30 novice shooters from video recordings, taken before and after the training program. In addition to the 60 performances, seven of them were duplicated on videotape in randomised order. The coaches observed the performances using a score-based rating scale including 14 different aspects essential in the running target shooting.
The results showed that the reproducibility of observations differed among the three coaches. The coach who was most educated and experienced had the highest intracorrelation between the two evaluations r = .71, (p< .001). The intracorrelations were .44 (p< .001) for the Olympic team assistant coach and .16 (n.s.) for the junior elite coach, respectively. It is concluded that the most experienced and educated coach observed the shooting performance most reproducibly among the three coaches. It is also suggested that even if a coach had been an elite rifle shooter in the past, it does not guarantee the ability to observe the shooting performance reproducibly.
