Abstract
The software developer of siliconCOACH, a computerized two-dimensional video analysis tool for coaches, was assisted to reflect on how his software provided coaches with learning opportunities to understand how coaches and athletes use performance feedback. Our understanding of reflection was informed by the work of Van Manen [9] and Zeichner & Liston [10]. To assist in the reflection process, literature associated with feedback, physical education, and information & communication technology (ICT) was drawn upon. The ICT literature informed the technical reflection and had specific relevance for software development. The motor control and physical education literature informed the practical reflection and had relevance for any future development of support material to assist coaches in providing feedback to athletes. These reflections will be of interest to those coaches and sports scientists who are interested in gaining further insight into the interface between technology and coaching practice.
