"In the past two decades, and in many countries, there has been a proliferation of, and importance attached to, coach education. This web searchable review and database of coaching research will be an extremely valuable tool for those who want to keep up to date with contemporary thought and practice in the area"
Dr Tania Cassidy, School of Physical Education, University of Otago, New Zealand
"This database of coaching research is unparalleled and pulls together an immense amount of resources. Julian North and Sports Coach UK are to be commended for putting together a much needed piece of work that unites coaches, researchers, and coach educators around the world"
Jean Côté, PhD, Associate Professor, School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
"Very impressive ... I am unaware of any such central clearinghouse of coaching science; it definitely is an excellent time for such an initiative"
Wade Gilbert, Associate Professor, Sport Psychology Graduate Option Director, Kinesiology Department, California State University, Fresno
"A very welcome and relevant initiative. Having research so readilyavailable should certainly contribute to furthering the field of study and practice"
Dr. Robyn L. Jones, Reader, Cardiff School of Sport, UWIC, UK
"After a considerable gestation period, sports coaching is finally emerging as a legitimate area of academic study. In addition, policy and practice are increasingly becoming reliant on a more rigorous evidence base. This research database is a very important part of this process. It is searchable, easy to use, up to date, and inclusive. I have every confidence that it will become a significant resource for academic study in our field"
Professor John Lyle, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
