Vad innebär ditt forskningsområde?

My research area is the sociology and pedagogy of sport. I am particularly interested in topics relating to coaches, coaching, athletes and athlete learning. I have, for instance, researched female coaches’ career development; sustainable and abusive (i.e., unsustainable) coaching practices; athletes’ training realities, especially in unsustainable sporting contexts and abusive (unethical) coach-athlete relationships; and the effects these realities have on athletes’ health, wellbeing and ‘becoming’. The idea of becoming is a concept taken from a socio-cultural learning theory, which Hodkinson, Biesta and James developed in the 2000s. The concept integrates social, contextualised, relational, embodied and cognitive dimensions of learning. With the integrated understanding, I aim to demonstrate and explain how biographical, socio-cultural, individual and chance factors shape athletes’ becoming (Barker-Ruchti, Barker, Rynne, & Lee, 2016).
