Nel Noddings: Caring, moral learning and coaching
No full textThe facilitation of learning is a central feature of coaches’ and coach educators’ work. Coaching students and practitioners are, as a result, being expected to give increasing levels of thought towards how they might help to develop the knowledge and practical skills of others. Learning in Sports Coaching provides a comprehensive introduction to a diverse range of classic, critical, and contemporary theories of learning, education, and social interaction and their potential application to sports coaching. Each chapter is broadly divided into two sections. The first section introduces a key thinker and the fundamental tenets of his or her scholarly endeavours and theorising. The second considers how the theorist’s work might influence how we understand and attempt to promote learning in coaching and coach education settings

Arlie Russell Hochschild: the managed heart, feeling rules, and emotional labour: coaching as an emotional endeavour

Coaching Profession: Acting as a Coach
No full textThrough the adoption of a dramaturgical perspective, this chapter positions coaching as being somewhat akin to a theatrical social performance. From this standpoint, coaching work entails much more than the routine application of pre-packaged knowledge and methods. It also requires coaches to carefully consider (and reflect upon) their interactions with others, inclusive of how they manage and display various emotions within the coaching environment ((Cassidy, T., Jones, R., & Potrac, P., Understanding sports coaching: The social, cultural and pedagogical foundations of coaching practice. Routledge, London, 2016); (Nelson, L., Potrac, P., Gilbourne, D., Allanson, A., Gale, L., & Marshall, P., Sociology of Sport Journal 19:19-40, 2014)). In terms of its structure, the chapter begins by introducing the notion of dramaturgy. This background material is followed by an overview of the classic dramaturgical writings of Erving Goffman and Arlie Russell Hochschild. Here, we highlight some essential features of their respective theorising that can stimulate critical reflection upon the dramaturgical aspects of coaching ((Cassidy, T., Jones, R., & Potrac, P., Understanding sports coaching: The social, cultural and pedagogical foundations of coaching practice. Routledge, London, 2016)). After the theoretical backdrop is presented, the focus then shifts to reviewing the (limited) available literature addressing how coaches engage in various acts of impression and emotion management to achieve their goals. In concluding the chapter, the main arguments are summarised and a number of ‘key points’ that coaches (and coach educators) may wish to critically reflect upon are presented

Introduction
No full textTen years have passed since the original publication of Research Methods in Sports Coaching (RMSC). Doesn’t time fly? We have since witnessed an explosion of coaching research and there continues to be a growing number of academic institutions offering undergraduate and postgraduate sports coaching and related degrees. In many cases, these programmes require students to complete dissertation projects. As part of their studies, coaching students are typically expected to sit a research methods module and generate a dissertation proposal in preparation for conducting supervised coaching research. It is through such modules and supervised research activity that the next generation of coaching researchers can be inspired to develop the necessary quality of mind and associated research methods knowledge and skills to produce high-quality and impactful coaching research. The need for a coaching-specific research methods text clearly remains.</p
Learning in Sports Coaching: Theory and Application
No full textThe facilitation of learning is a central feature of coaches’ and coach educators’ work. Coaching students and practitioners are, as a result, being expected to give increasing levels of thought towards how they might help to develop the knowledge and practical skills of others. Learning in Sports Coaching provides a comprehensive introduction to a diverse range of classic, critical, and contemporary theories of learning, education, and social interaction and their potential application to sports coaching. Each chapter is broadly divided into two sections. The first section introduces a key thinker and the fundamental tenets of his or her scholarly endeavours and theorising. The second considers how the theorist’s work might influence how we understand and attempt to promote learning in coaching and coach education settings. By design this book seeks to promote theoretical connoisseurship and to encourage its readers to reflect critically on their beliefs about learning and its facilitation. This is an essential text for any pedagogical course taken as part of a degree programme in sports coaching or coach education
