Abstract
Stories are a valuable and effective tool to disseminate research findings
to coaches. However, the use of stories, although encouraged, is not
mainstream in coach education and usually represented (i.e., written) as
realist tales (e.g., case studies) (Van Maanen, 2011). In contrast, recent
research suggests that coaches prefer stories in video format due to the
communication of emotional, verbal, and non-verbal behaviors, which
underpins the complexity of psychosocial and sociocultural coaching
practice (Szedlak et al., 2018). Thus, the aim of this presentation is to
outline practical steps of (1) how to write research-based stories using
creative analytical practices and (2) the process of developing video
stories to highlight their potential to promote effective psychosocial and
sociocultural coaching practice. We wrote and produced three video
stories that portrayed ineffective psychosocial and sociocultural coaching
practice, including issues such as: ableism, ageism, sexism, racism, and
unequal power-relationships. As part of a broader project (funded by the
Social Science and Humanities Council of Canada), these video stories
will be utilized as a learning tool for strength and conditioning coaches to
reflect on opportunities and gaps within their formal coach education to
identify psychosocial and sociocultural competencies. Outlining the steps
taken to develop and utilize these video stories, we aim to demystify the
process of how to effectively use video stories and encourage coach
educators to more readily include video stories as a learning tool in coach
education
to coaches. However, the use of stories, although encouraged, is not
