Coaching Principles Test 2 Practice

If a coach teaches a dangerous technique, what is the likely legal consequence?

It protects the coach from liability It ensures safety It increases the chance of negligence It has no effect on liability

Correct Answer:

It increases the chance of negligence

Explanation:

Teaching a dangerous technique raises the risk of harm, which means a coach can be seen as failing to exercise reasonable care if harm occurs. In coaching law, there’s a duty to use appropriate, safer methods, provide proper instruction, assess risks, and warn about dangers. If a coach knowingly teaches a high‑risk move without sufficient safeguards or suitability for the learner, that breach of duty makes negligence more likely if someone is injured. So the likely legal consequence is an increased chance of negligence being found. It doesn’t protect the coach from liability, it doesn’t guarantee safety, and it does have implications for liability in the sense described.
