Notă biografică
Lee Nelson is a Reader in sports coaching in the Department of Sport and Physical Activity at Edge Hill University, UK. He leads the department’s Practice in Coaching and Teaching Research Group. His research focuses on developing a critical social analysis of sports work in community and performance coaching as well as professional education contexts. He principally utilises qualitative research methods as well as dramaturgical and interactionist theoretical frameworks to understand how sports workers experience and navigate organisational life.
Ryan Groom is a Senior Lecturer in the College of Exercise Sciences at the University of Derby, UK. His work is based at the intersection of interactional sociology and psychology, predominately working within interpretive applied naturalistic and ethnographic frameworks within elite sport. He has published widely in journals examining video-based feedback, organisational change, mentoring, and learning. He has also co-edited Research Methods in Sports Coaching (2014, Routledge) and Learning in Sports Coaching (2016, Routledge).
Paul Potrac is a Professor of sports coaching in the Department of Sport, Exercise Rehabilitation at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle, UK.

Recenzii
'An excellent and worthwhile addition to the existing texts within sports coaching as it fills a much-needed gap. Undergraduate and postgraduate students in particular should find the text of considerable relevance and use throughout their studies. This is because it takes challenging research concepts and relates them to work done in coaching. For coaching researchers, I see this book as a teaching aide for supervising students' dissertations and contributing to classes with a research element." - Ed Cope, Sports Coaching Review.
"I highly recommend those who hold the supervisor position of students conducting sports-related research to read these pages. There is a lot to be learned from Gilbert’s reflections from the field here."- Anne Tjønndal, Faculty of Social Science, Nord University, idrottsforum.org.
