Background
In 1998 Tania Cassidy was appointed at the University of Otago to teach and research in the area of sports pedagogy.
Her interest was specifically understanding sports coaching as a social and educational enterprise as well as one which is culturally bound. Tania also focused on coach and athlete development, with particular interest in the development of coaching practices which are ethical, inclusive of all ages, abilities and developmental levels.
In 2024 Tania was appointed as a full Professor at the University of Otago and in 2025 she was awarded the status of Professor Emeritus.
Research
Tania's research interests are informed by both interpretive and critical perspectives and include:
- Pedagogy of sports coaching and coach education/development
- Youth development and sports coaching
- Politics and policies of coach development and education
Her research is reflected in the following two texts, of which she is the lead author:
- Understanding Sports Coaching: The Pedagogical, Social and Cultural Foundations of Sports Practice (2004, 2009, 2106, 2023, Routledge)
- Understanding Strength and Conditioning as Sport Coaching: Bridging the Biophysical, Pedagogical and Sociocultural Foundations of Practice (2020, Routledge)
