ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the key issues that university supervisors and students must consider when conducting sports coaching research. Prior to approaching potential supervisors, it encourages students to reflect on sports coaching topics that are of personal interest. While graduate students frequently present their research proposals in formal, department, or university-wide forums, undergraduate students could find themselves having to present their proposal to peers in a class setting. Students should strive to find supervisors who can offer the technical and emotional support necessary to successfully navigate the research process. Literature search technologies and tools are constantly evolving and although the supervisor most surely can provide initial guidance, it is important that students become familiar with the most current and efficient literature search methods.
