Abstract

Sports coaching scholars increasingly understand coaching as a socio-pedagogical activity consisting of social interactions between coaches and athletes that aim to teach and improve skills and competencies. Coach feedback for the purpose of correcting player performance is a core feature of this activity, but coaching scholarship exploring the fine-grained organization of coaching corrections remains minimal. This chapter examines how correction events in basketball training are interactionally organized via participants’ mobilization of sequential embodied and linguistic resources. The analysis centres on the participants’ collaborative production and use of reenactments as a means of correcting player conduct, illuminating how the coach and players collaborate to configure an intercorporeal context that enables players to see and feel problematic performances and their correct alternatives.
