Expert, effective and ethical coaching
Responding to growing concerns about the balance between the demands of high-performance sport and athlete and coach welfare.
the challenge
Since the London and Rio Olympic cycles there have been growing concerns about the balance between the demands of high-performance sport and athlete and coach welfare.
Centre staff have been commissioned by UK Sport to effective and ethical coaching in high performance sports and centres where there was a positive track record of both performance and individual welfare.
The approach
We have undertaken a range of studies in this area using a ‘depth approach’, that is, spending extended periods with athletes, coaches, practitioners, and leaders in a high performance and performance context.
The impact
The results have been used by UK Sport to inform the development of high-performance coaches.
