“To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift” great summary from the @LJMUPower_Sport opening key note speaker @katewalsh11 🏑

[Dr. Dan Parnell @parnell_daniel]

There is some momentum around research in the impact of austerity on sport contexts, pleased with our paper in @IntJSPP - good reading from those in sport @ConnectSport @sport_thinktank and academia @tandfsport @MMU_FutureEcon https://t.co/kaPl3MKSTD

[DrChrisMackintosh @SportDevDebate]

Good to see such a vibrant and engaged postgrad community within the @CRiC_2018 conference - definite links with @UKSDN2018 and @uksdn interests in sport policy, participation and local communities

[DrChrisMackintosh @SportDevDebate]

Great day @CRiC_2018 conference with Amanda Hughes - lots of interesting implications for community sport policy @SPU_MMU

[MMU CRiC @mmucric]

... and the importance of not underestimating emotional labour, emotional investment and emotion management of sports coaching... https://t.co/ktZLSkGOOc

[Dr Alexandra Consterdine @aconsterdine1]

@RyanThomas2310 interrogating the relational nature of sports coaching. How do our interrelations with key stakeholder define areas of knowledge/influence social behaviour? @CRiC_2018 @MMU_Cheshire @mmucric

[Dr Tom Leeder @TomLeeder]

Really enjoyed presenting! Bourdieu/Hodkinson can help to show how learning to mentor is an embodied and social process #habitus https://t.co/HBdCu0ayTr

[CRiC Coaching in the Community @CRiC_2018]

Our final presentation today @CRiC_2018 symposium by Scott Bradley is about why we should emphasise “strengths” as positive qualities when we work with children (and others) in community coaching environments ... Positivity ➡️ Happiness ➡️ 😃😃😃

[CRiC Coaching in the Community @CRiC_2018]

@Quayle_LRJ highlights that coaches are reflective early in their careers as a “natural” form of ongoing learning. Yet, coaches in her study began to “overcomplicate” this process when asked to adhere to models / structures / frameworks during formal coach education.

[Dr. Barbara Bell 💙 @BarbaraBell17]

Lots of implications for Sport Development and the sport sector in public and private Coaching contexts great discussion. https://t.co/z79kWFT5dw

[CRiC Coaching in the Community @CRiC_2018]

Sarah Clinkard is drawing on her embedded position as a coach to engage in an ethnographic study in community sports coaching environments.

[CRiC Coaching in the Community @CRiC_2018]

In his poster, @4_reece gives an insight into how FA formal coach education has evolved over time. Have we moved from viewing “coaches as empty vessels” to a social constructivist approach to learning?

[CRiC Coaching in the Community @CRiC_2018]

@TomLeeder is drawing on Bourdieu’s theorisation to make sense of how FA coaches became mentors, how they perceived this process and associated responsibilities.

[CRiC Coaching in the Community @CRiC_2018]

So, what is the process for FA coaches when transitioning to becoming mentors for other coaches? And how do they experience this? Today, @CRiC_2018, @TomLeeder is sharing some of his preliminary PhD findings with us. ⚽️
