In this episode I chat with Dennie Wilson, Dance Artist and Educator at the Royal Academy of Dance, about her paper 'Building a case for coaching: informing an innovative, pedagogical approach to dancer development'. The paper outlines a framework for reconceptualising what it means to educate dancers by differentiating and diversifying our thoughts and actions across teaching, training, and now coaching. The conversation is about more than mere semantics and offers food for thought around the pedagogy of sport coaching!
Takeaways
- Training can mean different things in different contexts.
- Coaching involves a deeper understanding of the individual's needs.
- Teaching is not just about imparting knowledge, but also about facilitating learning.
- Mentoring provides guidance based on experience and wisdom.
- Daily training can include subtle pedagogical nuances that enhance performance.
- The roles of trainer, coach, and mentor can overlap significantly. Understanding the elements of each role can improve effectiveness.
- Language plays a crucial role in how education is perceived and delivered.
