December brings a special edition of Coaching With an Accent, the first with non-native English speakers. We welcome two Portuguese academics to the show: Prof. Duarte Araujo, world-renowned expert in sport psychology, ecological dynamics, decision-making and expertise, and Mara Mata, PhD student at Cardiff Met in Wales and volleyball coach, who does research on migrant coaches. Enjoy!

This month we interview Dr. Anna Stodter, Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching at Anglia-Ruskin University (Cambridge, England). We talk about what works in coach learning, and her experiences as a practitioner and international rugby union player. In our PhD chat we speak with Simon Taylor, student at the University of Stirling, Scotland, who is looking at fear of failure in coaches and athletes. Finally, we give you an update on upcoming conferences and events. Enjoy!

In this episode we get philosophical, discussing critical realism and ontology with Dr Julian North, Senior Research Fellow at Leeds Beckett University. We also have our first ever PhD chat with Tom Leeder, 3rd year PhD student at East Anglia, who is researching coach mentoring in partnership with The FA.

This episode is devoted to Colum Cronin's research on Care. We discuss the book he edited with Kathleen Armour - "Care in Sport Coaching - Pedagogical Cases" and we also talk about Kerr, Stirling and Bandealy's article "Film Depictions of Emotionally Abusive Coach-Athlete Interactions".
