This podcast episode is a diversion from the positive pedagogy theme but it covers an important topic - social media. The episode guests (including myself) overview a recent special issue on the use of social media as professional development in HPE by myself and two of my co-authors/editors. The special issue had 6 articles plus an intro and conclusion and if focused on physical education and sports coaching. This podcast was completed for the Playing with Research in Health and Physical Education podcast (see: https://anchor.fm/PwRHPE) and I got permission from Risto Marttinen to also post it to my podcast, too.

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Edward Cope from Loughborough University to discuss his paper with Professor Christopher Cushion titled: A move towards reconceptualizing direct instruction in sport coaching pedagogy. Ed and I discuss what direct instruction is, how it has become something that has negative connotations associated with it in sports coaching, and why it, therefore, needs reframing. We also speak about Cognitive Load Theory and Mosston and Ashworth's spectrum of teaching styles. During the dicussion, we refer to various resources which can be seen below, including the paper by Ed and Chris.

In this episode, I am sharing an interview that was conducted with me by Coach Rafa Simões for his Coaches Talk podcast (see: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH7PNgEIUnjghcKbICJfZyg). We talk about my background growing up and why I got into coaching, my passion for coaching, as well as my journey as an academic researcher, which has taken me from 'Boro (Stockton-on-Tees) in England to becoming a Beaver at Oregon State Unversity, and now a Bobcat at Ohio University. Please get in touch at [email protected] with any questions.
This episode is based on my interview with Dean Renee Middleton for the "Book Talks with the Dean" series in the Patton College of Education here at Ohio University. We talk about the concept of Positive Pedagogy, the content of the second edition of the Positive Pedagogy for Sport Coaching book, how it extended the work of the first edition of the book and some areas of continued development for the series. If you want to watch the interview on YouTube, please follow the link here: I want to thank Dean Middleton for taking the time to speak with me about the book, and also to the marketing department in the Patton College for capturing and producing a video of the talk (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7xbVT7G9hA&t=5s).
