The Art of Coaching: "Instead of having my running spikes, I just have my theories and a keyboard"
Episode #82, published October 1, 2025
"This episode features a conversation with Joseph Mills, an International Adjunct Professor in the Masters of Coaching program at the University of Denver. That is his formal title. According to his profile, “his research and teaching interests are in the application of social-cultural theories to bridge science (real-world) practice divides in coaching, sport and exercise.”
Coaching Theory: "Dangers and Opportunities"
Episode #78, published August 22, 2025
"So, although I’ve had a few of my coaches as guests, this is the first opportunity for me to explicitly explore some theoretical questions about coaching. Two experts who have critically explored coaching, are Dr Zoë Avner from Deakin University in Australia and Kristi Skebo from the University of Alberta in Canada. I was drawn to their work for their use of Foucauldian thinking and the theories of Deleuze and Guattari in their article “Coach development as assemblage: mobilising assemblage thinking to examine coach learning within an endurance-running coach development intravention” published in Sports Coaching Review in 2024."
The Adult Ballet Studio Podcast
Episode #19, published August 6, 2024
"In this episode, we discuss how the ideal ballet body - both celebrated and criticized at times - has evolved alongside ballet as an art form, how ballet has contributed to broader cultural narratives, and especially, how body ideals in ballet have influenced societal views of femininity, beauty, and womanhood. Check it out!"
