OVERVIEW
This group
focuses on the pedagogical, relational and
emotional dimensions of coaching, teaching, and professional
development.

psychological and education theorising to explore a variety of
contemporary issues. These include, but are not limited
to:
- Coaching
as a (micro)political, emotional, and relational activity.
- The
design, delivery, and evaluation of formal coach education provision.
- The
enactment of physical education policy.
- Teaching
and learning in Higher Education.
