New paper exploring what determines (in)effective post competition parent-child interactions in youth sport! We also explain what CA is, why conversation analysts don't make ontological or epistemological claims, and how CA papers could/should be judged! 🎥🎾🚘

The Swim Wales National Conference is in Full Flow!
It’s been a fantastic day so far, kicked off with a warm welcome from our Chief Executive Officer, Fergus Feeney.
Highlights of the day so far have included a thought-provoking panel discussion on empowering the workforce, hosted by CIMSPA and featuring expert voices from across the aquatics sector.
We’ve also had an in depth session exploring the aquatic pathway and an insightful workshop on positive communications, led by a leading sport psychologist from Oxford Brookes University.
And we’re not done yet!
