On today's show I am joined by Prof. Nicolette van Veldhoven who is programme manager of research at the Netherlands Olympic Committee*Netherlands Sports Confederation (NOC*NSF) and a Professor in Sport-Related Educational Theory at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences. Nicolette discusses her teaching and coaching background and her coaching influences and we delve into how coaches, from a pedagogical perspective, can promote, implement and maintain a socially safe sporting and exercise climate. We also chat about the four pillars of the Pedagogical Compass in Sport, the importance of knowing your players and how all coaches are relationship builders and much more.
