Op het terrein van armoedebestrijding, preventie en schulddienstverlening bestaat vrijwel geen inzicht in de effectiviteit van de ingezette instrumenten, methodieken en interventies.Er bestaat een brede behoefte aan meer inzicht in die effectiviteit: wat werkt voor wie en waarom? Het lectoraat wil deze kennis leverenen met dit onderzoek een bijdrage leveren aan het bevorderen van methodisch werken in de schulddienstverlening, zowel door professionals als door vrijwilligers.
Rationale/Purpose: High-performance sport systems offer athletes access to a range of experts including excellent coaches. This study examines the macro-, meso- and micro-level factors associated with coaching elite women athletes within a high-performance sport system. Design/methodology/approach: This research was underpinned by constructionism and critical feminism. The data were collected via semi-structured in-depth interviews with 10 international male elite rowing coaches with experience in coaching men and women athletes and analysed using thematic analysis. Findings: The data shows that at the micro-level, coaches differentiate their practices based on the gender of the athlete. These practices are influenced by meso-level factors (perceived value of sport participated by women) and shaped by macro-level factors (socio-cultural background of the coaches). Practical implications: Coaches’ socio-cultural experiences influence their construct of gender and affect their approach to coaching women athletes. Hence identifying macro-level factors can help managers understand coaches’ perspectives, philosophy and practice at a micro-level. https://doi.org/10.1080/23750472.2019.1641139 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donna-de-haan/
