Asking another coach or athlete for feedback on your teaching or coaching strategies is an example of?

• A. Collaborative planning
• B. Peer evaluation
• C. Reflective practice
• D. Performance review

Answer: (C)

Reflective practice is the process of learning and improving by thoughtfully examining your own coaching methods and decisions, then seeking and using feedback from others to refine your approach. When you ask another coach or athlete for feedback on your teaching or coaching strategies, you’re actively gathering external perspectives, comparing them with your own observations, and adjusting your methods to better meet athletes’ needs. This ongoing loop of reflection and modification is the heart of reflective practice.

Collaborative planning involves working with others to design sessions, which is about co-creating plans rather than evaluating and improving your current practice. Peer evaluation resembles assessment by peers but is more about formal judging of performance, whereas reflective practice emphasizes personal growth through continuous feedback and self-questioning. Performance review is typically a formal, structured evaluation by a supervisor rather than a regular practice for self-improvement.
