The aim of this book was to explore how coaches' experiential
learning could be harnessed and better developed within shared
'communities of practice (Lave & Wenger, 1991). The study
involved two groups of coaches; one of elite and the other of
developmental football players. Using an action research
methodology, data on coaches' learning were gathered both through
ongoing observations and focus groups interviews over the course of
a nine-month season. The data were inductively analysed and
presented as a series of unfolding narratives. The plot hinges on
my (the first authors) attempts as a facilitator to encourage the
respective groups of coaches to engage and develop within their
CoPs. Findings revealed that whilst the developmental coaches were
generally positive about participating in a CoP, and appeared to
engage with its processes, the elite coaches were much less
cooperative. The results contribute to the body of evidence-based
studies that seek to examine, problematize and build credible
pedagogies for coach education.
