The sport of orienteering has been largely absent from the outdoor and adventure coaching literature. Therefore, we know little about the experiences of orienteering coaches, specifically their journeys into coaching and the influences on their development. Consequently, the aim of this research is to explore British Orienteering coaches’ experiences of the athlete-to-coach transition, with an emphasis on understanding how an athletic past might shape future coaching beliefs, philosophies, and practices. Data were collected via an online qualitative survey involving 84 UK-based orienteering coaches and analysed using a reflexive thematic analysis process. Findings indicate that participants’ routes into and reasons for becoming an orienteering coach varied. Previous orienteering experience functioned as a socialising agent, while enabling individuals to develop technical knowledge, alongside empathy and relatability. Participants articulated the values and beliefs informing their coaching philosophies, which centred on inclusivity, fun, holistic development, and transferable skills. Practical recommendations to support the athlete-to-coach transition and enhance coach education are discussed.

ABSTRACTEmotions influence the process of personal development and are an important factor in learning. Reflecting on and understanding one’s emotions within an experiential personal development course can contribute to self-knowledge and future professional growth as leisure educators. This study maps the emotions experienced by the participants on a 7-day residential outdoor course conducted in the Czech Republic. The research group was composed of 18 students aged 19–22 years. Participants documented a wide range of emotions though self-reflective recording sheets, with joy, peace, and ecstasy being the predominant ones. Positive emotions were prevalent in the respondents’ accounts. The intensity of the experience was noted as strong to very strong in nearly half of the programme elements. The study tracks the progression of emotional intensity throughout the course and identifies the programme elements in which participants experienced emotions most profoundly. The significance of self-reflection on emotions during the course is discussed, along with suggested recommendations for effectively engaging with emotions in practice.KEYWORDS: Youthemotionspersonal developmentoutdoor educationexperiential education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsAdéla RůžičkováAdéla Růžičková is a postgraduate student and teacher at the Faculty of Physical Culture, Palacký University Olomouc.

情绪影响个人发展过程,是影响学习的重要因素。在体验式个人发展课程中反思和理解自己的情绪有助于作为休闲教育者的自我认识和未来的专业成长。本研究绘制了在捷克共和国进行的为期7天的住宅户外课程的参与者所经历的情绪。研究小组由18名年龄在19-22岁之间的学生组成。参与者通过自我反思记录表记录了各种各样的情绪,其中快乐、平静和狂喜是主要的情绪。积极情绪在受访者的描述中普遍存在。会议指出,在将近一半的方案构成部分中,这种经验的强度从强到非常强。该研究追踪了整个课程中情绪强度的变化,并确定了参与者最深刻地感受情绪的课程要素。课程中讨论了情绪自我反省的重要性,并提出了在实践中有效处理情绪的建议。关键词:青少年运动个人发展户外教育体验式教育披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。关于投稿人的附加信息sad la RůžičkováAdéla Růžičková是Palacký奥洛穆茨大学体育学院的一名研究生和教师。在研究、教学和实践中,她专注于自然的全人教育。她的研究专长是情感在体验课程参与者个性发展中的作用。Dana ŠtěrbováDana Štěrbová是临床心理学家,主管,大学教师,婚姻和家庭咨询师。在体育学院(Palacký University Olomouc),她讲授临床心理学和病理心理学、残疾人的性行为和寄养家庭的主题。她在提供帮助职业教育的组织中担任认证课程和活动的讲师。大卫MásilkaDavid Másilka是Palacký奥洛穆茨大学体育学院的研究员和教师。他是捷克全人教育方法和定性研究方法论、研究设计、深度访谈、焦点小组、讨论、体验工作坊、定性内容分析、扎根理论方面的专家。他曾担任研究和商业顾问、促进者和讲师。Michal vi armichal vi是Palacký奥洛穆茨大学体育学院的研究员和教师。主要研究方向为体育人才、发展卓越的心理特征、心理测量学、心理诊断和体验教育。

Outdoor education in various forms has a long and rich tradition in the Czech Republic. This paper focuses on research into the benefits or return on investment of a winter travel course organised by the Department of Recreology at the Faculty of Physical Culture of Palacký University Olomouc which combines snowshoeing and camping in the snow. On the basis of the processing of qualitative data from essays written by 28 participants in 2018 and 2019, we found that the course has an impact on the participants and the investment that is involved is balanced by a number of perceived benefits in the areas of personal development and the acquisition of new skills and knowledge of a stay outdoors in the winter and movement there. On the basis of the identified findings, we believe that the experiences recorded by our respondents also have the transformative power to transform their existing horizon of possibilities, the so-called life horizon.
