I've contributed a few book chapters over the last few years on the topic of disability coaching. If you're interested, check these out. Happy to provide copies for anyone interested.
"Athlete-centred coaching in disability sport: a critical perspective" with @CoachC1. Based on early research, Chris and I took critical look at ACC and its derivatives in disability sport in @pilly66's edited collection https://www.routledge.com/Perspectives-on-Athlete-Centred-Coaching/Pill/p/book/9781138103900
"Coaching in disability sport: moving from practice to theory" with @CoachC1 and @degsy_morgan. Centralising the coach's voice, we provided a grounded overview of coaching athletes with learning disabilities. In @EdCope1 and @CoachPartington https://www.routledge.com/Sports-Coaching-A-Theoretical-and-Practical-Guide/Cope-Partington/p/book/9780815392095
The latest is a consolidation of our ( @CoachC1 and the newly minted Dr @CoachTabo) existing work in elite disability sport coaching, taking a look at the discourses framing coaching practice. In J. Wallis and J. Lambert https://www.routledge.com/Sport-Coaching-with-Diverse-Populations-Theory-and-Practice/Wallis-Lambert/p/book/9780367427467
Coming soon is a chapter focusing on coaching in the community context, looking at the challenges for the disability sport sector here in New Zealand. A further review on coaching disabled children is also in the pipeline.
What is great is the exposure and traction that disability sport is generating, and the need to educate coaches about disability. Hopefully, we can start to chip away at the notion of disability as a distinct coaching context. In the meantime, these should do for a while!
