Table 1. A table showing examples of raw data, coding, development and generation (theme one).

Theme 1 – Data	Theme 1 – Coding/analysis	Theme 1 – Theme generation
Delivery is quite hard, there's a lot of content to cover; it's pretty rushed	Life as coach educator (get the job done). Rushed/pressured	Role/realities (challenging; enjoyable? Support?)
We’ve had increasing pressure to condense the course, so (sport) used to be three days, so two days tutoring, one-day assessment	Pressure; challenging – life as coach educator (get the job done)	Role/realities (challenging; enjoyable?)
I’d question whether some of them I pass will be good coaches, but they met the requirements	Pressure to pass; conflict; too easy to pass	Role/realities (challenging; concerns; standards/quality)
We’re under pressure to pass them – the message (from the SGB hierarchy) is ‘we need more English coaches’	Pressure to pass; lack of agency	Role/realities (frustration; compliance)
