• 'You don’t realize what you see!': the institutional context of emotional abuse in elite youth sport (2017, background): “Several scholars (Denison 2007; Denison and Avner 2011; Denison, Mills, and Konoval 2015; and Jacobs, Claringbould, and Knoppers 2014) have shown how coaches who engage in coach-centred practices can be transformed to think and practice in a totally different manner that is athlete centred.”
