We are committed to a broad coverage of substantive areas of research interest and methodological orientations. A series of given themes provide the focus for our research activity (under the distinct heading of ‘Coaching’). Our objective is to produce research and publish journal articles, books and book chapters that promote debate on matters related to sports coaching theory and practice. In this way, our purpose is to be predominant in developing a critical body of knowledge for the emerging discipline and profession of sports coaching.
