Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The article is considered very relevant for information on the profile of coaches in the sport. This is a subject that has been little investigated in paralympic sport.
The methodology is appropriate, with results and discussion that support the aim of the study. Although the sample is not capable of providing a definitive conclusion, the material discusses important guidelines for future analysis.
Author Response
I and my fellow authors would like to thank you for reviewing this manuscript, as well as for the comments, which have enriched this manuscript. We believe we have adequately addressed the comments. However, if you deem that more changes are necessary, we look forward to addressing any other concerns.

Reviewer 3 Report
The purpose of this study was to identify the existing associations between the pedagogical variables and the game space that define the training tasks by a coach of a professional WB team using the integral analysis system of training tasks (SIATE) tool and to analyze the self-defined profile of the two coaches. During data collection a total of 46 tasks coded in two months of coaching were analyzed. The questionnaires were used to determine the coaches' self-defined profile such as Coach Orientation Questionnaire, Coach Knowledge and Skills Questionnaire; Coach Decision Questionnaire and Coach Planning Style Questionnaire. In summary, the results showed a relationship between the playing space and the design of the tasks defined by the pedagogical variables. I believe this is an interesting study and has a merit for this journal but manuscript needs improvement in certain areas. For example, descriptive and associate strategy in line 99 should be explained in more detail as a method. In addition, more demographic information should be provided about subjects (participants) and their back ground. Moreover, conclusion part needs to improve with current up to date research and practical applications and suggestions should be added for future studies. Thank you.

For example, descriptive and associate strategy in line 99 should be explained in more detail as a method.
Authors: Thank you so much for your note. This information has been provided in the “Statistical analysis” section. We hope to answer your doubt with the information shown in this section.
In addition, more demographic information should be provided about subjects (participants) and their background.
Authors: Thank you so much for your comments. This information has been added in the text as Table 1.
Moreover, conclusion part needs to improve with current up to date research and practical applications and suggestions should be added for future studies. Thank you.
Authors: Thank you so much for your perspective. We have added some information related to future studies and practical applications.
