Opening doors to coach education in masters sport for lifelong sport participation
Coach education directors of sport organizations are responsible for developing coaches to support quality sport participation. While adults comprise an increasingly larger cohort in many sport organizations, their programming, including coaching and coach education, is marginalized. The purpose of this collective case study was to outline directors’ perceptions of challenges and interests regarding lifelong sport participation through their pers…
Glitter and Guts
This qualitative investigation explored the lived meaningful experiences of adult women in a coached Masters synchronized ice-skating team and the role of the coach in these experiences. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with 11 team members (mean age = 39) and their 32 year-old female coach, over multiple time points in their season. Observational field notes were taken during training, competition, and social engagements. Story…
Athletes’ Perceptions of Positive Development Resulting from Canadian Intercollegiate Sport
Governing bodies of university sport have adopted more holistic approaches to the development of their athletes (Canadian Interuniversity Sport, 2013; NCAA, 2015).

In this study, we qualitatively examined positive development outcomes associated with athletes’ participation in CIS sport pro…

Masters Athletes (MAs) are a highly unique cohort who participate in competitive sport in adulthood. Understanding the factors facilitating one athlete’s personal commitment may illustrate the nature of adaptive strategies for remaining active in sport. In this case study, Andrew (pseudonym), a 52- year-old nationally ranked Canadian runner, provincially ranked squash player and regional cross-country skiing champion was interviewed about persona…
Masters Swimmers’ Experiences With Coaches
Much work addresses coaches’ contributions to younger athletes; however, the psycho-social coaching needs of adult Masters athletes remain unexamined. This study explored the lived experiences of 10 Masters swimmers (5 male, 5 female; age range = 45-65 years) through interviews. Interpretative phenomenological analysis delved into benefits that swimmers wanted to derive from coaches, how they wished to be coached, and what they liked about coache…

IPA has been used predominantly in health psychology, with rising interest within the field of sport psychology and coaching. This article seeks to describe insights about the processes …
