Therefore, we know little about the experiences of orienteering coaches, specifically their journeys into coaching and the influences on their development. Consequently, the aim of this research is to explore British Orienteering coaches’ experiences of the athlete-to-coach transition, with an emphasis on understanding how an athletic past might shape future coaching beliefs, philosophies, and practices. Data were collected via an online qualitative survey involving 84 UK-based orienteering coaches and analysed using a reflexive thematic analysis process. Findings indicate that participants’ routes into and reasons for becoming an orienteering coach varied. Previous orienteering experience functioned as a socialising agent, while enabling individuals to develop technical knowledge, alongside empathy and relatability. Participants articulated the values and beliefs informing their coaching philosophies, which centred on inclusivity, fun, holistic development, and transferable skills. Practical recommendations to support the athlete-to-coach transition and enhance coach education are discussed.","PeriodicalId":51697,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135113206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reflecting on and understanding one’s emotions within an experiential personal development course can contribute to self-knowledge and future professional growth as leisure educators. This study maps the emotions experienced by the participants on a 7-day residential outdoor course conducted in the Czech Republic. The research group was composed of 18 students aged 19–22 years. Participants documented a wide range of emotions though self-reflective recording sheets, with joy, peace, and ecstasy being the predominant ones. Positive emotions were prevalent in the respondents’ accounts. The intensity of the experience was noted as strong to very strong in nearly half of the programme elements. The study tracks the progression of emotional intensity throughout the course and identifies the programme elements in which participants experienced emotions most profoundly. The significance of self-reflection on emotions during the course is discussed, along with suggested recommendations for effectively engaging with emotions in practice.KEYWORDS: Youthemotionspersonal developmentoutdoor educationexperiential education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsAdéla RůžičkováAdéla Růžičková is a postgraduate student and teacher at the Faculty of Physical Culture, Palacký University Olomouc.

This paper focuses on research into the benefits or return on investment of a winter travel course organised by the Department of Recreology at the Faculty of Physical Culture of Palacký University Olomouc which combines snowshoeing and camping in the snow. On the basis of the processing of qualitative data from essays written by 28 participants in 2018 and 2019, we found that the course has an impact on the participants and the investment that is involved is balanced by a number of perceived benefits in the areas of personal development and the acquisition of new skills and knowledge of a stay outdoors in the winter and movement there. On the basis of the identified findings, we believe that the experiences recorded by our respondents also have the transformative power to transform their existing horizon of possibilities, the so-called life horizon.","PeriodicalId":51697,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135307729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
