AB This paper introduces the methods, selected findings and discussion of an action research investigating a coach and player experience of Game Sense coaching as a new approach to coaching an Australian football team. The study was conducted over five months, which covered the in-season training segment of the coach’s training plan. The study involved the coach systematically reflecting on the experience of coaching and regular conversations with the sport pedagogue through coach use of a reflective journal. During the final week of training players were invited to complete a coaching efficacy survey to elicit qualitative data in an attempt to gain insights into their experience of the coaching. At the conclusion of the season the coach participated in a semi-structured interview with the sport pedagogue. The research adds further evidence that game-centred coaching approaches like the Game Sense approach take time to learn, require greater instructional knowledge and game understanding by the coach, and may be misinterpreted as small sided games.
