No, I had already thought that they were a discourse community. They have so many different responsibilities, and most of these are completed by writing in one form or another. The playbook, the play script, the rules of the game, and especially the ability to read the players. This is huge because if a coach can not understand what the athlete is experiencing, the ability for the player to improve decreases dramatically. If a coach is not teaching how to run block in a manner that a certain individual is understanding, the coach had better find a new way to teach it. However, the coach must be able to recognize that the athlete isn’t responding to this drill first and ensure that the problem isn’t just a lack of effort. This ability isn’t something learned in a matter of a few days or weeks. This can take a number of seasons for a coach to master. In my experiences, coaches are also pressured into reading many documents and novels written by other historical coaches techniques in order to be the best coach they can possibly be. The coaching profession has many different reasons for being a discourse community and more people should recognize this as a fact.
