S2 Episode 6: The Role of Challenge in Athlete (and Coach) Development.

Join us as we discuss how the journey through three olympics has shaped our guests views on sport and sport coaching.

We are joined by Professor John Lyle, Dr. Jamie Taylor and Andy Burns to explore and establish a shared understanding of what sport coaching is, and what it isn't.  We may not have conceptualised sport coaching but we certainly enjoyed navigating the complexity and ambiguity which perhaps get in the way of doing so.  

Unscripted and under the influence.  Join Laurie, Anna, and Derek as we collectively make sense of our last episode.  Reflections are simply that and not a presentation of a set of truths.  Please consume critically and with a pinch of salt.

Join Anna and Laurie for our Paralympic special with Dr Tabo Huntley, Tania Nadarajah and Dr Rob Townsend.

Join us as we discuss the role of challenge in athlete development with Aine MacNamara, Jamie Taylor and Neil McCarthy.

After a brief hiatus Anna, Laurie and Derek return for the Two Beer Minimum to reflect upon S2 Episode 4: In conversation with Anna Stodter & Chris Cushion.  As always we are unscripted and under the influence so please take our musings with a pinch of salt....

This was an enjoyable exploration of Anna's work and in particular her work with Prof. Chris Cushion.  We explore coach education, development and learning!  Hope you enjoy!!!

Join us for a conversation with Dr Julian North of Leeds Beckett University as we explore the question 'Is Sport Coaching a Knowledge Building Community'?

Welcome to a very special episode and collaboration with our friends Hugh Gilmore & Pete Olusoga from The Eighty Percent Mental podcast and of course Sara Erdner, author of Dear Coach.  In this episode we cover a breadth of topics and we really hope you enjoy an informal yet informative deep dive on a number of important areas within sport coaching which often go ignored.... We must note there is a slight issue with Derek's audio on this episode so you may pick up some background noise & feedback on his interactions, we have tried where possible to minimise its impact on your listening experience.

Join us as we explore "Feedback in Learning" from three very distinct disciplines: education, sport and music.  Laurie, Anna and Derek navigate this space with our guests Dr Ed Cope (sport coaching), Julia Astrid Wagner (music) and Dave Marsden (education). We hope you enjoy and as always, please interact with us on twitter on @CoachDiscourse.
