Really enjoyed hearing about Dr Harley-Jean Simpson’s experiences of doing coaching research. Harley speaks so honestly about her time in the field - well worth a listen! 🤩 #CardiffMet #SportCoaching #CoachingResearch

Technology in sport as a gendered concept - really eye opening! 🧠 Huge thanks to Anne Tjønndal for sparing us some time at a busy Cluster for Research into Coaching (CRiC) conference to share her work and experiences 👏🏻 #SportCoaching

I loved how honestly Sarah spoke about the loneliness of doing work like hers, particularly when exploring concepts that are sometimes mind bending at best! 🧠 Another great experience hearing about great research coming out of Cluster for Research into Coaching (CRiC) 👌🏻 #SportCoaching #CRiC2025
