'Academic flavour' affecting top-level coaching - Lowe

A scathing report has revealed serious dysfunction at Cycling New Zealand including bullying, poor behaviour, a lack of accountability and an inappropriate relationship between a coach and an athlete. It's the second major sport this month to be found lacking. A review into the culture at Football New Zealand by Auckland lawyer Phillipa Muir found multiple instances of bullying from a former coach. So, is the nature of coaching changing at the top level? Or is it more a case that today's athletes won't tolerate what used to be seen as normal? Graham Lowe is a former coach of the Kiwis who has coached at the top level at home, in England and in Australia since the 1980s. He talks to Guyon Espiner.
