Abstract

This paper originates from my personal struggles and dissatisfaction with the unproblematic treatment of methodologies, politics, and procedures of doing sports coaching research. In response, I offer a radical counternarrative where I apply disruptive and unorthodox guiding principles of postmodern thought and approaches to fieldwork, analysis, and writing. Although these approaches have received some attention in general sports scholarship (Munslow, 2012; Rail, 1998; Thorpe, 2012), incorporating a full commitment to postmodernist approaches to sports coaching research is still gaining traction. By way of contribution, I have used postmodernism as both a sensibility, and as a set of orientating principles that influences my thinking and encourage a rigorous reflexivity that creates novel ways through which to consider both the research process, and the process of knowledge creation in sports coaching research. I offer these reflections as an illustration of how postmodernism could be adopted as a scaffold for others.
