• Developing coaching pedagogy: seeking a better integration of theory and practice (2012, result): “The value of the paper also lies in response to the earlier work of Culver and Trudel (2006), Nelson and Cushion (2006) and Ollis and Sproule (2007) among others who called for greater developmental research, where coaches’ engagement with the real world needs to be better monitored, understood and…”
• Positive Coaching: Ethical Practices for Athlete Development (2011, methodology): “To facilitate this process, we believe the formation of coaching communities of practice could lead to the type of critical thinking we are asking coaches to engage in (see Culver & Trudel, 2006, 2008).”
• Communities of practice, social learning and networks: exploiting the social side of coach development (2014, background): “…in Lave and Wenger’s (1996) concept of learning within a ‘Community of Practice’ (CoP), which is commonly cited as a mode of facilitating coach development (e.g. Cassidy et al., 2006; Culver & Trudel, 2006) and which is certainly a central tool of national initiatives in the UK (UK Sport, 2010).”
• Understanding Sports Coaching: The Social, Cultural and Pedagogical Foundations of Coaching Practice (2004, methodology): “…the publication of the first edition of this text, there has been an increased interest in learning within the coaching context (see, for example, Culver and Trudel 2006; Galipeau and Trudel 2006; Trudel and Gilbert 2004; and the 2006 Special Issue of the International Journal of Sports Science…”
• Clarifying the Concept of Communities of Practice in Sport (2008, background): “Now widely discussed and applied in the domain of management [11, 12] and increasingly so in physical education [13, 14], a number of authors have suggested that coaches’ CoPs either exist, or might be cultivated, to promote coaches’ learning [8, 15-17].”
• Women coaches' perceptions of their sport organizations' social environment: Supporting coaches' psychological needs? (2009, background): “They may even facilitate the development of coaching communities of practice (Culver & Trudel, 2006).”
• Gaining Insight into Actual and Preferred Sources of Coaching Knowledge (2008, background): “Finally, as a middle ground between the extreme individual focus of mentoring and the self-direction of observation, interacting with other coaches within communities of practice [27-29] has been proposed as a particularly fruitful approach to fostering coach learning.”
• How Youth-Sport Coaches Learn to Coach (2007, background): “Culver and Trudel (2006) conducted two studies in sport clubs (athletic and ski), and results suggest that although the instructors in each club recognized the potential to learn by sharing their knowledge, time and space to meet were important limiting factors.”
