Dr. Denison studies coaching from a socio-cultural perspective. He draws on the work of Bruno Latour and Michel Foucault to examine a wide-array of topics and problems related to the '”doing of coaching” as a complex and heterogeneous formation.Whether you're a coach, athlete, or sports enthusiast, this conversation will expand your perspective on the psychological and sociological aspects of sports coaching.
