SYSTEM-FORMING PERSONAL FACTORS OF A SPORTS AND PEDAGOGICAL MANAGER

Abstract

Aim. The paper aims to describe and substantiate system-forming personal factors of a sports manager. Materials and methods. The study is based on the theory and methodology of developmental learning in sports and pedagogical management (by S. Neverkovich et al.) and the international FISU-EAS survey about the dual career concept. The paper conceptualizes the main blocks of professional competence among sports and pedagogical managers and their personal qualities. The sports and pedagogical manager is described through the dual career concept. The following methods were used for the purpose of the study: empirical (observation, introspection), organizational (comparative, comprehensive and longitudinal analyses), psychological (interview, psychological testing), and experimental methods. Results. Personal qualities of the sports and pedagogical manager within the coach-athlete (PE university student) system are substantiated, including personal skills, personal knowledge, and personal characteristics. Conclusion. The paper substantiates the system-forming personal factors of the sports and pedagogical ma­nager. First of all, these are the parameters that describe the personality of a manager (creativity, self-confidence, self-management skills). The paper provides a system approach to the concept of sports and pedagogical management based on the so-called ‘I need. I want. I can’ model.
