Abstract:
This study explored a neophyte consultant’s reflective practice within the context of supervision. It employed an evaluative case study methodology, involving both coaches and athlete participants; coaches were asked to participate in one semi structured interview to help the trainee find meaning with a personal reflection to ID and disabled sports and to gain further understanding of how Special Olympic (SO) coaches experience training athletes with ID. In contrast, athletes were asked to articipate in a series of psychological skills training (PST) activities in which the primary researcher made observations and notes regarding this intervention. The results of the interviews, PST and observations were used to form reflective meaning that otherwise may not be formed with a direct reflection of how the primary researchers interoperated her thoughts, feelings, opinions, and emotions during these experiences.
