  • Over the past decade, the rapid pace of skill into education has changed the way teaching and learning is conducted in higher education. However, this promising approach seems to be neglected about Hamedan sport coaches. This study investigated sport coaches’ motivation and practices of skill. To this end, eighty-eight sport coaches from three universities in Iran participated in this study. The data collection instrument measured coaches’ motivations, teaching methods, and skill use. The findings of the study indicated that Hamedan sport coaches held positive motivation toward the use of skill, yet a limited use of skill. The participants further reported several barriers in integrating skill in Hamedan physical education classes. It was also found that skill use positively and significantly correlated to coaches’ motivation. Based on the current study physical educators may be willing to apply skill teaching if given opportunities to prepare, practice and utilize appropriate resources.
