Coaching, Communication & Performance
This strand centres on the role of coaching practice, communication, and decision-making in shaping performance outcomes. The sessions explore how coaches and practitioners operate in high-pressure environments, with a particular focus on interaction, feedback, and in-the-moment decision making.
Combining research with applied experience from elite sport and performance settings, these talks provide insight into how communication and practitioner behaviour can influence athlete understanding, learning, and performance in critical moments.
