Each participant coach was asked to take part in two in-person interviews and type reflective journal entries on their coaching development processes. The constant comparative method (Merriam, 1998) for thematic analysis was used on the interview transcriptions and journal entries. Based on the analysis of the findings, five overarching themes were highlighted: Experience, Relationships, Culture, Balance, and Female Sport.
