Abstract

ABSTRACT LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS AVAILABLE FOR STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACHES (SCCs) TO DEVELOP STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING (S&C) PROGRAMS WITH ATHLETES WITH A DISABILITY. KNOWLEDGE THAT IS AVAILABLE IS “BIOSCIENTIFIC” WITH SCANT CONSIDERATION OF HOW DOMINANT UNDERSTANDINGS OF DISABILITY ARE CONSTRUCTED OR HOW DISABILITY IS EXPERIENCED. IN RESPONSE, THIS ARTICLE PROVIDES A CONCEPTUAL OVERVIEW OF DISABILITY AND REFLECTIONS FROM THE AUTHOR'S PUBLISHED RESEARCH INTO DISABILITY SPORT AND SPINAL CORD INJURY TO QUESTION THE TACIT KNOWLEDGE USED IN S&C AND THE INFLUENCE THIS HAS ON SCC/ATHLETE RELATIONSHIPS. GUIDELINES TO DEVELOP MORE RECIPROCAL AND EMPOWERING PRACTICES WITH ATHLETES WITH A DISABILITY ARE ADVOCATED.
