Abstract

ABSTRACT Given the need for post-modern education, and likewise, coach development to better prepare coaches for messy and complex realities, the purpose of this study was to explore the use of coach developers’ post-structural pedagogical practices. Using post-structural assumptions as a lens for analysing two coach developer’s pedagogies in a higher education master’s degree coaching programme, such practices aimed to open-up multiple realities (e.g. debunking singular truth regimes strategies), power as relational (e.g. social constructions of knowledge strategies) and an ever-evolving self (e.g. encouraging errors and false starts). These themes encompassed 19 pedagogical practices, which are discussed in relation to the need for coaches’ post-structural understandings, coach developers’ implementation of post-structural pedagogies, and overcoming practical realities of producing docile coach learners.
