Abstract [en]

This chapter brings together seven critical coaching scholars all of whom have studied various abuses of power perpetrated by sports coaches and the impact this can have on athletes’ health and well-being, not to mention their performance potential. The chapter opens with some introductory comments from the first author concerning the important role that coach developers can play in equipping coaches to be able to address this urgent matter. This is followed by commentaries from the remaining authors who each take a different approach to address the central issue at hand: how coaching can become a more ethical practice with the support of coach developers who are cognizant and concerned about curtailing the negative impact that coaches’ abuse of power can have on athletes’ experiences in sport. In the conclusion, the first author returns to offer some final comments concerning the possibilities for ensuring a more equitable distribution of power across the sport and coaching landscape.
