The Journal of Coach Development (JCD) is a peer-reviewed, open access publication of the United States Center for Coaching Excellence. Launched in 2024, JCD is published through the University of Southern Mississippi Aquila Digital platform and is managed by an Editorial Board comprised of members of the USCCE Research Committee. While the journal is limited to two issues per year, JCD employs an ongoing publication process where articles are published and available immediately upon final approval. Articles accepted and published prior to June 30 are included in the annual spring issue and those accepted and published after June 30 are included in the annual fall issue. At this time, JCD does NOT require a publication fee and authors maintain the rights to their publications.
