The certification of athletic trainers in the base link

Abstract

The certification of coaches is a necessity of contemporary sport that recognizes the ability to perform after having complied with the requirements and regulations imposed by the entity that legitimizes it. This academic essay intends to reflect on the social contradictions that occur around the appointment process of Cuban athletics teachers in sports initiation and their professional skills. Such categorization would allow instructors to be placed in responsibilities and performance levels according to their competencies, would help to better prepare them to successfully face the pedagogical process, would provide the tools to question the methodological orientations that limit creativity and professional development, would generate confidence in the professional and his employer, when the latter knows that he can hire staff with knowledge validated by a third party. The methods used were analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, observation, document review, and interviews. The most significant results are the contradictions that are manifested in Cuban athletics, the need to certify the coaches in the base link and its usefulness in the transformation of society.
