‘School, family and then hockey!’ Coaches’ views on dual career in ice hockey
2017
Despite the extensive research into coaches’ roles in supporting athletic development and motivation for sport, few studies have examined coaches’ attitudes and practices towards athletes’ dual careers. The present study extends European research into athletes’ dual careers by examining Finnish ice hockey coaches’ attitudes and practices surrounding players’ education. Ten male coaches aged 27–52 participated in semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed with an existential-narrative theoretical framework and with thematic and structural narrative analysis. Three composite vignettes were created entitled ‘supporting athletic development and players in reaching their own goals’, ‘enj…
The role of leadership in a national team’s success
2022
Every elite football team wants to maximize their success. Especially in international football, smaller footballing countries need to perform well as underdogs when pursuing qualification to the group stage phase of international tournaments. With limited player options, development of leadership within the team might be one solution to achieve better results. The purpose of this study was to find out team members’ perceptions on what kind of leadership behaviours and leadership structures occur in a men’s football national team participating in the UEFA Euro 2020 and how those are connected to the team’s success. Due to the precise nature of the target sample, we applied a qualitative app…
“Women easily feel that they have lost a year if they don’t ski faster” : Finnish ski coaches’ discursive constructions of gendered dual career pathw…
2023
Objectives Earlier qualitative researchers studying athletes’ dual careers (DCs) have shown that sociocultural discourses on gender are ingrained in DC policies and practices, creating gender inequalities and hierarchies. In this study, we aimed to extend this body of research by examining how Finnish elite youth ski coaches discursively construct athletes’ education and gender in their talk and coaching practices. Similarly, we examined how coaches’ beliefs about athletes' holistic development are interlinked with broader sociocultural discourses on gender. Design Qualitative study. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 Finnish ski coaches (seven male, three female) aged …
Rompé tus barreras: Un análisis sobre el uso del coaching ontológico en la plataforma de entrenamiento de Nike en Buenos Aires
2020
In recent times, coaching has become relevant in heterogeneous discourses and practices in the economic, political and cultural fields of contemporary societies. Based on our ethnographic analysis of different training sessions on the Nike+ Run Club platform in Buenos Aires, in this article we study how ontological coaching operates in the field of sport and races. Then, we ask about how people who attend this platform appropriate coaching techniques to manage emotions, moods, and body effects according to the business entrepreneurship logic. Through this work, the ethnographic results are articulated with a reflection about the theory, practice, and values of the ontological coaching, wher…

Coaching-koulutuksen koettu vaikuttavuus esimiesten johtamistyyliin ja organisaatioon
2017
Coachingilla on monia muotoja ja sitä voidaan hyödyntää monella tapaa eri organisaatioissa. Business coaching on johtamisen työkalu ja henkilöstön kehittämisen menetelmä, jolla saadaan vaikutuksia aikaan. Tutkimusten mukaan business coaching lisää ja kehittää työntekijöiden työhyvinvointia, sitoutuneisuutta, motivaatiota, viestintä- ja vuorovaikutustaitoja sekä sillä on useita erilaisia positiivisia vaikutuksia tunteidenhallintaan, käyttäytymiseen ja ajattelumalleihin. Organisaation sisäiseen coachingiin liittyy keskeisesti esimiehen ja alaisen välinen suhde ja coaching-prosessin kokonaisuus, esimerkiksi suunnittelu ja yksilöllisyys. Coachingia yritetään hyödyntää liiketoiminnassa entistä e…

The Coaching Maps as a Tool for Developing Reflectivity in Organisations
2019
Our view of organizations, labour and the competencies of managers will soon need to change. In the postmodern and post-Fordist world, economy and organizations function differently than they did in the 20th century. Workers and managers will have to face new expectations. Not only has reflectivity become one of the key organisational factors; it is also taught, learnt and shaped. Drawing on an authoethnographic model and action-research, authors of this paper provide an education and development tool that managers and workers can use to develop and trigger reflectivity. Picture ethnography, coaching philosophy and hermeneutics are theoretical bases for the construction of a new model of se…
