dc.description.abstract | While coaching research has always been concerned with how sports coaches
interact with their players, far less attention has been paid to how coaches interact with
superiors and staff members at their clubs. We argue that the way coaches handle this
side of their profession can have a large impact on how well they are able to do their
job. This paper attempts to shed a light on how expert football coaches interact with
other people at their club in order to improve their working conditions and achieve their
goals. This is done through qualitative interviews with three Norwegian coaches with an
average of 25 years experience of high-level coaching. The interview data are subjected
to a process of directed content analysis, building on a theoretical framework consisting
of orchestration metaphor, the study of micropolitics and the three aspects of
micropolitical literacy. The discussion chapter goes into detail on how the coaches
handle the negotiation process before being hired by club, how they deal with their
superiors, how they deal with the staff, and what happens when the team is going
through periods of poor performances and results. Finally, suggestions are made for how
other coaches can improve their ability to handle this aspect of the coaching profession.
