Keeping it real
Background Activity design is a widely explored aspect of a sport coach’s role, understood as the informed choices related to the content, structure, and sequencing of participant activities, with the aim of facilitating learning. Across various theoretical stances, concepts such as specificity and representative practice design, there is near-universal support for increasing emphasis on the realism of activity design to enhance skill transfer an…
Game is the teacher? Understandings and misunderstandings of games-based approaches
Background: Games-based approaches (GBA) have emerged as popular approaches to team sport coaching in recent decades. Despite the widespread adoption of GBA in some coaching populations, misinterpretations have arisen through both mediated and unmediated learning channels. This has the potential to detract from implementation, despite a significant body of research from multiple theoretical perspectives.Purpose: Given the popularity of GBA in the…
Always ready to learn
For over three decades, sport coaching scholars have critiqued formal coach learning. Coaches are widely understood to place greater value on informal and non-formal learning. Despite this, coach education experiences have remained the focal point of investigation. Located in a wider research project investigating coaching expertise, this study examined the learning biographies of expert coaches working in Premier League category one academies. I…

Little is known about the contextual development of health literacy in Irish community settings, especially those identified as most deprived where improved health literacy can support better health outcomes. Individual interviews and focus groups were conducted with 105 participants across one rural and one urban community in Ireland. Recordings were transcribed verbatim and …

Within the domain of coach education researchers have long called for a paradigm shift, whereby the quality of coaching practice is no longer measured against a checklist of prescribed competencies. This desire to evolve coach education and development, has been aligned to the need to better identify, understand and utilise what adaptive skill and expertise looks, sounds and feels like across specific sport coaching contexts. This paper outlines …

Physical literacy in children
Physical literacy (PL) is highlighted as a construct that can positively impact physical activity (PA). Measurement methods and definitions for PL exist, but vary between research groups. This variation affects the ability to compare research findings. The purpose of this study was to assess the construct validity of PL in children. PL was operationalised according to Whitehead’s (2001 ) definition, comprising confidence, motivation, physical com…
The Differential Impact of Screen Time on Children’s Wellbeing
Increased screen time has been found to be associated with a number of negative health and wellbeing indicators in youth populations. An increasing number of studies have investigated the association between screen time and wellbeing in adolescents, but evidence in younger children is still emerging. This 2017 study explored the effect of leisure screen time and gender on dimensions of wellbeing (measured using KIDSCREEN-27) in a national sample …
