• Taking the Next Step: Ways Forward for Coaching Science (2011, background): “Over the last ten years there has been a significant amount of work that has examined the social complexities of coaching (Bowes & Jones, 2006; Cushion, Armour, & Jones, 2006; Potrac & Cassidy, 2006), much of which has been driven by the note from Saury and Durand (1998) that coaching just isn’t…”
• Culture Change in Elite Sport Performance Teams: Examining and Advancing Effectiveness in the New Era (2012, background): “…theory has been effectively applied by business scholars to explain management-led change processes (Theodoridis & Bennison, 2009), and further identified by sport psychology as a parsimonious approach for the incessant planning, acting and monitoring of sports coaching (Bowes & Jones, 2006).”
• An Integrative Definition of Coaching Effectiveness and Expertise (2009, background): “A multi-directional conceptualization of coach-athlete interactions has been advocated in recent theoretical work [44-46] which suggests that coaching is a complex, reciprocally-influential process based on systems of social interactions.”

• Understanding Sports Coaching: The Social, Cultural and Pedagogical Foundations of Coaching Practice (2004, background): “There continues to be relatively little available literature that questions some of the taken-for-granted practices in coaching and acknowledges the complex reality within which coaches work (Côté et al. 1995; Bowes and Jones 2006).”
• Communities of practice, social learning and networks: exploiting the social side of coach development (2014, background): “…however, although to date there has been a significant amount of work that has examined the social complexities of coaching practice itself (e.g. Bowes & Jones, 2006; Cushion et al., 2006; Potrac & Cassidy, 2006), insufficient attention has been paid to the fundamental social dimensions of…”
