Formal ethical review of research proposals is now almost the default requirement for all -- staff and students -- planning research under the auspices of colleges and universities in many parts of the world.

Coaches find themselves operating in a framework of regulations and guidelines that create anxiety, for them and others, and for many volunteer (and sometimes professional) coaches, this fearful context has led them to question the risks and benefits of their continuing involvement in sport....
