Join us for a conversation with Dr Julian North of Leeds Beckett University as we explore the question 'Is Sport Coaching a Knowledge Building Community'?

Welcome to a very special episode and collaboration with our friends Hugh Gilmore & Pete Olusoga from The Eighty Percent Mental podcast and of course Sara Erdner, author of Dear Coach.  In this episode we cover a breadth of topics and we really hope you enjoy an informal yet informative deep dive on a number of important areas within sport coaching which often go ignored.... We must note there is a slight issue with Derek's audio on this episode so you may pick up some background noise & feedback on his interactions, we have tried where possible to minimise its impact on your listening experience.

Join us as we explore "Feedback in Learning" from three very distinct disciplines: education, sport and music.  Laurie, Anna and Derek navigate this space with our guests Dr Ed Cope (sport coaching), Julia Astrid Wagner (music) and Dave Marsden (education). We hope you enjoy and as always, please interact with us on twitter on @CoachDiscourse.

Join Laurie, Anna and Derek as they reflect on our most recent episode with Mike Ashford and Ceriann Davies on 'Decision Making'.  We also look back on the series as a whole and discuss some of the topics we aim to explore in the future.  As always the Two Beer Minimum is unscripted and under the influence - please take with a pinch of salt.

Anna leads us through an exploration of Decision Making with our guests Ceriann Davies and Mike Ashford.   We has some technical issues with sound in this episode but we still hope you enjoy this as much as we did...

Laurie, Anna and Derek are joined by Alain Guttinger, Dr Niels Fedderson and Dr Simon Phelen to discuss the recent discourse on social media in the area of sport coaching and skill acquisition.  

Join Laurie, Anna and Derek as they crack open a couple of craft beers, talk some nonsense and attempt to make sense of what we might have taken as lessons or further reflections from our guests.  

Join us as we discuss skill acquisition in freestyle action sports - Laurie, Anna and Derek discuss the roots of our guests 'sports', the tree of skills, peer learning and learning culture in a fascinating conversation driven by curiosity.

Join Laurie, Anna and Derek as we enjoy lighthearted and craft beer fuelled reflections on the our second instalment of the podcast.   DISCLAIMER: Our musings are not a presentation of fact or absolute truth, simply our continued thoughts and reflections from the episode - take things with a pinch of salt....

In this episode we explore Ontology and Epistemology in the context of sport coaching; in essence, we discuss what we may believe to be coaching or coaching practice and how we may know that to be true.  Our guests offer us real insight into these terms and their application in the context of coaching research and coaching practice.  We hope you enjoy if this episode sparks some curiosity why not join the conversation and reach out to us on twitter at @coachDiscourse.  There will be a second part to this instalment, The Two Beer Minimum, which will follow where the hosts make sense of this episode over a couple of craft beers to summarise the key lessons for our listeners.  If you like this episode, or any others then please hit subscribe and leave us a review.
