How does Life Purpose Shape Coaches’ Approach to Athlete Development? Dr Mariya Yukhymenko (Pt2) - Meaningful Sport Series

In this second part of our conversation with Dr Mariya Yukhymenko, we continue exploring the questions about purpose in life and sport. Sport can be thought to serve many purposes, including achievements, broader personal development, and life skill development. How do broader purpose orientations shape how sport coaches approach coaching and athlete development? What are some of the key differences between the ways sport is practised in Ukraine (the home country of the guest) and the USA? And finally, how can counsellors and other practitioners including sport psychologists work with supporting purpose in students, coaches or athletes?
Dr Mariya Yukhymenko is an Associate Professor at California State University, Fresno. Her expertise lies in educational and sport psychology, and quantitative research methodology. She has published widely in and outside of sport on topics including identity, purpose, passion and ethical behaviour.

Researching Life Purpose, Sport and Work - Dr Mariya Yukhymenko (Pt1) - Meaningful Sport Series

Having sense of purpose has been long recognised to play a vital role in human life. How can researchers conceptualise and study purpose? How does it influence career development - in work and sport - and how we respond to adversity?
I am delighted to discuss these and topics with Dr Mariya Yukhymenko, an Associate Professor at California State University, Fresno. Her expertise lies in educational and sport psychology, and quantitative research methodology. She has published widely in and outside of sport on topics including identity, purpose, passion and ethical behaviour. We first explore her broader research areas, and then focus on understanding what purpose is and how Dr Yukhymenko's research has advanced our knowledge in the area of life purpose and its relation to work and sport.

Understanding Journeys of Becoming a Runner - Jen Benson (Pt2) - Meaningful Sport Series

In this episode, we explore the journeys of novice runners and how they develop their runner identities. What are the experiences of developing a running body and identity? How do the novice runners navigate the bodily discomforts and the body that is "fighting back"?
In addition to the research topic itself, we discuss the potential of using running forums as data and netnography as a methodology. Furthermore, we explore phenomenology as a research philosophy and why it is a promising way of exploring sporting experiences.
Jen Benson is a writer and an author of several guidebooks on adventures, running and walking, and a PhD student at Liverpool John Moores University. She has recently published a book titled “The Wild Year” which tells the story of how she and her family spent a full year living in a tent in different parts of the UK. We explored this personal story in the first part of the conversation.

Meaningful PE: What it is... and What it is Not - Dr Stephanie Beni (Pt2) - Meaningful Sport Series

This is the second part of our conversation on Meaningful Physical Education (e.g., Fletcher, Ní Chróinín, Gleddie, & Beni, 2021) with Dr Stephanie Beni. With its focus on prioritising meaningful experiences, the meaningful PE framework takes the starting point that movement activities have the potential to enrich young people’s lives, and thus provides an alternative to utilitarian, health-oriented perspectives on PE.
In this episode, we discuss the Meaningful PE book (see link below), and then explore what meaningful PE is and what it is not.
Dr Stephanie Beni completed her doctorate at Brock University, Canada, where her research focused on understanding teachers' experiences of implementing a pedagogical approach for meaningful PE. Currently she is a postdoctoral researcher at Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.

Implementing Meaningful Physical Education - Dr Stephanie Beni (Pt1) - Meaningful Sport Series

Meaningful Physical Education (e.g., Fletcher, Ní Chróinín, Gleddie, & Beni, 2021) is a relatively new framework that has resonated with many researchers and practitioners. With its focus on prioritising meaningful experiences, it takes the starting point that movement activities have the potential to enrich young people’s lives, and thus provides an alternative to utilitarian, health-oriented perspectives on PE. In this episode, our key focus is on exploring the key ideas of the framework and the experiences of implementing this perspective in practice.
In this episode, I have the pleasure to explore Meaningful PE with Dr Stephanie Beni. She completed her doctorate at Brock University, Canada, where her research focused on understanding teachers' experiences of implementing a pedagogical approach for meaningful PE. Currently she is a postdoctoral researcher at Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.
