“Who knew that doing the wrong things could make everything so right?” There can be little doubt that sports’ dominant bioscientific articulation of the athletic body exerts a strong influence on coaches. Yet, on closer examination, this articulation and the practices it produces are not as straightforward as most coaches and scholars assume. Within the sociocultural study of coaching, scholars have drawn on Michel Foucault’s disciplinary framework to analyze many unseen problems and unintended consequences associated with coaches’ normal or everyday (bioscientific) practices. However, one significant aspect of Foucault’s theoretical framework that has received less attention from coaching scholars is how power and discourse work together to produce several coaching “truths.” To address this gap, in this article, we analyze the first author’s experiences as an international middle-distance runner by showing and telling what problems and constraints are produced when coaches, and by association their athletes, defer to a dominant bioscientific articulation of the athletic body in their training. We conclude by discussing the transformative possibilities when these “truths” are broken.

打破教练的规则：改变身体，运动和表现

“谁知道做错事会使事情变得正确？” 毫无疑问，运动对运动身体的主要生物科学表达对教练产生了很大的影响。然而，仔细研究后，这种表述及其产生的实践并不像大多数教练和学者所想象的那样简单。在教练的社会文化研究中，学者们利用米歇尔·福柯的学科框架来分析与教练的正常或日常（生物科学）实践相关的许多未见问题和意想不到的后果。但是，福柯理论框架的一个重要方面却很少受到教练学者的关注，那就是力量和话语如何共同产生多个教练“真相”。为了解决这一差距，在本文中，我们通过展示并说明当教练以及他们的运动员通过在训练中遵循运动学的主要生物科学方法产生的问题和约束条件，来分析第一作者作为国际中长跑运动员的经历。最后，我们讨论了打破这些“真相”时的变革可能性。
