Abstract The purpose of this study was to stimulate debate as to the current value and form of equity training for UK coaches and how it impacts coaching practice. Adopting a critical feminist lens, the discussions are based on in-depth interviews with four coaches who had recently attended the ‘Equity in your Coaching’ workshop run by Sports Coach UK. Data analysis yielded four pertinent themes related to: coaches’ language; the impact of the course on becoming a reflective practitioner; the format of the workshop; and the minimal impact on coaching practice. Through undergoing this training, coaches understood the value and worth of such education. However, in its current form, the workshop was experienced as irrelevant and too removed from practice to be of worth to these coaches. The findings illustrate the need for coach developers to more adequately understand the complexities and intricacies inherent within the coaching context.

““运动，为什么重要？””职业教练对公平训练的看法

摘要这项研究的目的是激发有关英国教练公平培训的当前价值和形式以及它如何影响教练实践的争论。讨论采用了批判性的女权主义视角，是基于对最近参加了由英国体育教练组织的“教练中的平等”研讨会的四位教练进行的深入采访。数据分析产生了四个有关的主题：教练的语言；课程对成为反思型从业者的影响；研讨会的形式；对教练实践的影响最小。通过接受培训，教练们了解了这种教育的价值和价值。但是，就目前的形式而言，研讨会的经验无关紧要，而且太过实践，对这些教练来说不值一提。
