The purpose of this article is to examine the background and purpose of using dominance profiles to assist coaches in determining learning preferences for themselves and their athletes. Dominance profiles can provide information that will help coaches understand the differences in how athletes think, act, and learn. Dominance profiles can help coaches anticipate how students will respond in different sport situations. Learning inefficiencies can be addressed and strategies can be developed to enable athletes to adequately learn to process all types of information without undue stress. This paper's focus is on the practical application of dominance profiles in coaching that can positively affect placement and positioning of athletes, teaching for skill enhancement, and the impact of dominance on athletic performance.
