Cover Story: The current picture of sports coaching is of practitioners and scholars talking past as opposed to each other. In taking issue with the separate identities featured, we initially challenge 'anti-intellectual' claims within coaching, by advocating for better appreciation of the socio-pedagogic nature of the activity. Secondly, we promote the idea of encouraging all involved in coaching to consider the indivisibility of theory and practice through the use of sensitizing concepts, internalisation, and authenticity to improve the 'doing' of the job. Of particular importance is the development of a critical consciousness of coaching, not only of thoroughly understanding the activity but also in actively fashioning it through engagement with new ideas.
