Abstract
The definition of coaching is the same when we consider it with reference to people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or the neurotypical population. In a sporting context, a coach is someone who uses sport as a vehicle for the development of individuals as performers and as people. Coaching is a form of teaching or instruction as it primarily involves communicating, learning, and maintaining positive relationships with those being taught. The aims of coaching are to understand: how individuals learn so that an effective learning environment can be created, to improve sports technique and develop skills, and to recognize areas for improvement, inside and outside the sporting realm.
