Cluster for Research into Coaching Symposium
Date: 12 June 2023
Location: Student Life Building, Liverpool John Moores University
With generous support from Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, the Cluster for Research in Sport Coaching (CRiC) will meet for a coaching research symposium on Monday 12 June.
We invite you to this welcoming event, which provides an excellent opportunity to:
- Connect with researchers using qualitative, quantitative and/or mixed methodologies, in addition to discussions of conceptual issues related to sport coaching
- Share and hear sport coaching research that is theoretically informed, critical and accessible
- Celebrate research that has engendered debate on issues related to sport coaching
The symposium will take place at LJMU's Student Life Building, Copperas Hill, Liverpool. The event will be a collegial opportunity for researchers at all stages of their career. To facilitate this, the programme will include:
- A distinguished coaching scholar lecture from a keynote speaker
- 5 parallel sessions featuring 15 established speakers
- 15 early career/doctoral/PG researcher presentations (abstracts to be submitted by 31 March 2023 – see below)
- ECR/PhD/PG networking breakfast
- Panel debates with invited academics and practitioners
- Sport Coaching Review researcher recognition awards
This collegial programme will enable delegates at different career stages to connect and start respectful academic conversations that we hope will continue in the days and weeks that follow.
