Coaching as a science, with John Lyle

Sign up to my FREE motivational psychology newsletter: Subscribe | Labours of Sport Coaching - The Self-Determined Coach In this episode I sit down with leading and longstanding coach researcher Professor John Lyle of Leeds Beckett University. For over 40 years John has established and pushed forward coaching as a science, and we reflect on where we've got to as a discipline in that time, the research issues we need to fix, and the avenues we should explore next within the academic world of coaching, to best serve coaches.
