WHAT KIND OF COACH ARE YOU ?
TEST YOURSELF !
The Coaching Ghost Inventory
Enough thoughts about concepts, it’s time for you to test yourself ! ! ! Do you want to learn more
about your own coaching practices and approach? Are you more of a directive, involved,
guiding or participative coach…? Where could you improve ?
As Coaching gathers momentum as an approach in supporting Youth Initiatives, We felt it was
important to develop a tool that would help youth workers in identifying their coaching style and
approach. The 'Coaching Ghost Inventory' was developed based on many of the educational
tools and models already in existence. This inventory will hopefully help you to explore your
'coaching style' and to identify possible learning and development areas for improvement as
well as to better understand the role of a coach.

Coaching Ghost Interpretation
The Coaching Ghost Inventory is a self relective assessment model to be used as a guide for sup-
porting and challenging your development as a Coach.
The maximum score on this Coaching Ghost Inventory is  points. Any score above  will usu-
ally mean that you use a balanced combination of coaching method styles and have a broad and
advanced understanding of coaching methods and techniques. You are aware of the importance
of coaching and that diferent learners and groups can have diferent learning needs and ap-
proaches.
If your score is in the range of  – , this could mean you have a good understanding of coaching
methods and techniques and you may be slightly experienced but not a regular coaching practi-
tioner. In time with some self relection, training and further experiences of coaching you are well
on your way to improving your practice and understanding of coaching.
If your score is below  this could mean that you are a coaching novice. Your understanding of the
term and your experience of coaching might be relatively new. Completing the Coaching Ghost
Inventory could be your irst positive step to becoming a coach and understanding its roles.
The column with the highest score can mean it is this approach you feel most comfortable and
familiar with. However it is important to look closer at those areas where you reach a low score to
identify possible learning and development areas for you as a coach.
Remember a good coach will always use a variety of techniques and methods depending on needs.
A well balanced coach will have column scores that are close and similar.
