Tania Cassidy is an Associate Professor in the area of Sport Pedagogy, particularly sports coaching. Tania views sports coaching as a social and educational enterprise as well as one which is culturally bound. She is interested in coach and athlete development, as well as understanding the development of coaching practices which are ethical, inclusive of all ages, abilities and developmental levels. For the past six years Tania has been a Visiting Professor in the School of Education, College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences, University College Cork, Ireland.
Tania has presented at numerous international conferences and has published in scholarly and professional books and journals. She is the first author of two co-authored texts;
Understanding Sports Coaching: The Pedagogical, Social and Cultural Foundations of Sports Practice (2004, 2009, 2106; Routledge),
Understanding Strength and Conditioning as Sport Coaching: Bridging the Biophysical, Pedagogical and Sociocultural Foundations of Practice (in press, Routledge)
Tania provides international service by being on the editorial boards of several journals including International Journal of Sports Science and Coaching (UK) and International Sport Coaching Journal (USA). She serves her national and local communities by being a board member of the Otago Academy of Sport and Football South as well as being a member of Hockey New Zealand's Masters Advisory Group and New Zealand Football's Women's sub-committee. As a consequence of Tania's community activism she is the President of the Opoho Bowling Club. Tania is also an active hockey player and lawn bowler.
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
Potential postgraduate students must be interested in applying an interpretive and/or socially critical lens to above aspects of sports coaching. Please consult the University of Otago scholarships webpage to check eligibility for international and domestic student scholarships.
