N2 - This paper describes fragments of 24 hours of coaching, as experienced through a semi-professional football club (Routh Football Club). By focusing on mundane aspects of the coaching practice, the aim of this article was to use Lefebvre’s rhythmanalysis to (re)conceptualise coaching practice as entangled with diverse rhythms of people, practice, socio-temporal structures, bodily movement, and corporeality. The collective stories illustrate how the coaching practice comprised a multiplicity of interrelated rhythms, working both harmoniously and out-of-sync, to control and marginalise individuals within the coaching practice. By introducing and describing the circulations of rhythms in coaching, we hope to demonstrate the nuanced relationship between quotidian coaching practices and the management of individuals, space, time, and mobility in coaching. A point that speaks to the wider coaching literature, which has painted coaching as an on-going, contested activity.
