Brazilian coaches' role in facilitating positive development through university sport (El papel de los entrenadores brasileños para facilitar el desarrollo positivo a través del deporte universitario)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In recent years, the role of coaches in fostering Positive Development (PD) has been explored within the context of university sport. However, research in non-English speaking countries such as Brazil, which is highly representative of university sport in Latin America, is still scarce. The purpose of this study was to analyze Brazilian coaches' perceptions of their role in facilitating PD within university sport. In total, 16 university coaches from all regions of Brazil were interviewed (14 male and 2 female). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Findings showed that coaches perceived university sport as a conducive platform for fostering both performance and PD outcomes. However, the coaches found it difficult to articulate PD strategies and identified challenges such as lack of time and organizational support. The present study suggests that PD is not well integrated within the current model of university sport in Brazil and highlights a potential need for PD-focused coach education programs. Resumen. En los últimos años, se ha explorado el papel de los entrenadores en el fomento del desarrollo positivo (DP) en el contexto del deporte universitario. Sin embargo, la investigación en países que no hablan inglés como Brasil, que es altamente representativo del deporte universitario en América Latina, aún es escasa. El propósito de este estudio fue analizar las percepciones de los entrenadores brasileños sobre su papel en la facilitación del DP dentro del deporte universitario. En total, fueran entrevistados16 entrenadores universitarios (14 hombres y 2 mujeres) de todas las regiones de Brasil. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados mostraron que los entrenadores percibían el deporte universitario como una plataforma propicia para fomentar tanto el rendimiento como el DP. Sin embargo, a los entrenadores les resultó difícil articular estrategias de DP e identificaron desafíos como la falta de tiempo y el apoyo organizacional. El presente estudio sugiere que lo DP no está bien integrada en el modelo actual del deporte universitario en Brasil y destaca la necesidad potencial de programas de educación para el entrenador centrados en DP.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
