Life-story methodology and innovative methods were used to explore the process of becoming a developmental adaptive sailing coach. Jarvis's (2009) lifelong learning theory framed the thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the coach, Jenny, was exposed from a young age to collaborative environments. Social interactions with others such as mentors, colleagues, and athletes made major contr...

Research on coaching (Bartholomew, Ntoumanis, & Thøgersen-Ntoumani, 2009) has shown that coaches can display controlling behaviors that have detrimental effects on athletes' basic psychological needs and quality of sport experiences. The current study extends this literature by considering coach narcissism as a potential antecedent of coaches' controlling behaviors. Further, the study tests a m...

Protein complexes are responsible for most of vital biological processes within the cell. Understanding the machinery behind these biological processes requires detection and analysis of complexes and their constituent proteins. A wealth of computational approaches towards detection of complexes deal with clustering of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Among these clustering approache...

Background: The goals of participation youth sports are primarily concerned with the facilitation of positive youth development as opposed to outright success. Consequently, there are strong theoretical and empirical links between sports coaching and athlete development. Transformational leadership behaviours, in particular, have been theoretically linked to positive developmental outcomes with...

Our objective is to find the five best college sports coaches of past century for three different sports. We decided to look at men's basketball, football, and baseball. We wanted to use an approach that could definitively determine team skill from the games played, and then use a machine-learning algorithm to calculate the correct coach skills for each team in a given year. We created a networ...

An Ubi-coach cyclist training system for monitoring and analysing the performance of a cyclist and provides a scalable coaching feedback. During coaching, cyclists are equipped with wireless sensors in order to acquire sports specific parameters like heart rate, blood pressure level, speed and distance covered and report context related information. The Ubi-coach system encourages the cyclist t...
