Disability Sports Coaching and Infusing Disability into Coaching Pedagogy:
Update: 2023-08-29
Description
Listen in on this exciting conversation with international APA disability sports scholar Dr. Robert Townsend (@robtownsendPhD) from the University of Waikato in New Zealand. Dr. Townsend's work is largely interdisciplinary, where he works to bridge qualitative research, social science and disability studies to build upon disability and sport coaching research while dismantling ablest norms that disrupt disabled persons ability to access meaningful sport opportunities. In this episode, we focus on Dr. Townsend's background in APA and disability sports, defining and discussing the state of disability sports coaching, and the notion of infusing disability sports coaching into general sport coaching pedagogy programs. We used his paper "Infusing disability into coach education and development: a critical review and agenda for change" to guide our discussions as well.
