The Qualitative Report
It is widely acknowledged that involvement in sport has positive physical and psychosocial benefits for adolescents.

Students from a second-year sociology of sport paper were invited to design their …

Cricketing Dad: An Autoethnography Into The Unknown, Peter De Vries
The Qualitative Report
The qualitative research methodology of autoethnography has been used by the researcher to explore his own lived experience as a father, specifically focusing on his experiences with his son playing cricket. As an autoethnography, the article unfolds as a first-person narrative that endeavours to connect the personal experiences of one particular father to wider social and cultural aspects of being a parent today. The narrative draws on data spanning 18 months to explore the researcher’s “unknown” world of being a cricketing Dad.
