Paralympic sports coaches work differently from other coaches. This study analyzed the professional trajectory of coaches working with the Brazilian Paralympic Delegation to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. It included 35 coaches (age: 39.7±9.4; working experience: 10.7±5,4 years) who answered a structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions related to their history and professional training. As for academic training, 97.1% held degrees in Physical Education; 65.7% held specialization diplomas; and 22.9% held master’s degrees in the area. In addition, 65.7% of the coaches attended some college-level course on Paralympic sports and 85% attended complementary training courses. We concluded that coaches had formal learning opportunities during their undergraduate training in Physical Education and other courses after that, as well as informal opportunities to build their career in Paralympic sports.
