Abstract
The role of the adventure sports coach was first identified by Collins and Collins (2012) who suggested that the sports coaching
process is significantly different in an adventurous context. Whilst there is a growing body of literature surrounding coaching
pedagogy (Hay, Dickens, Crudginton, & Engstrom, 2012), investigation of coaching pedagogy within adventure sports is less
common. Video ethnography is a well-documented field, with a broad base in the literature across many fields of study, and as
technology progresses, new applications of that technology become apparent and require investigation. This paper details the
development of a new method of data capture for qualitative analysis in the field of adventure sports research/adventure sports
coaching pedagogy, using point of view (POV) video cameras as the primary means of data capture. Ethical and philosophical
concerns are considered with a brief evaluation of the technique and suggestions for future use and development.
