Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
While the pressures and willingness for graduate assistants to spend extensive amounts of time coaching undergraduate competitors are considerable, this essay argues that other elements of directing are essential for the student's professional development Among those are reduced student contact hours in actual coaching, and a greater opportunities for personnel and administrative responsibilities. Experience while still under supervision in these areas can be an important contributor to the student's professionalism and success in directing her or his own forensic program.

The purpose of this position paper is not to ignite discontent with the present role of GAs, but rather to focus attention on a select number of issues regarding GAs that should be of interest to the forensics community and, particularly, to programs employing them. My comments and speculations represent my own experiences as a GA during masters and doctoral work, including responsibility for directing a forensics program during doctoral study. These thoughts are also a function of having worked with some two dozen GAs during my 13 years as a full-time faculty director of forensics.

An important link has been made in current research between coach burnout and improper training of directors of forensics. Although the structure for such training is in place via the graduate programs of universities offering forensics, this arena has been underutilized. A competency-based model of training is presented utilizing both curricular and non-curricular methods. Six competency areas are established, with a call for national standards toward the development of future coaches by those programs with graduate assistantships in forensics.
