Robyn Lloyd Jones is a Professor at Cardiff School of Sport, University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC).
 
His primary investigative area comprises a critical sociology of coaching. Here, the coaching process is viewed as a site of inter-personal contestation and negotiation within a general field of social relations. Specifically, the purpose of his research is to generate critical insight into an increasingly important part of cultural life, namely that of sports participation and performance and how that experience is framed by coaches. It examines both the dynamism and complexity of the coaching context and how practitioners manage the inevitable dilemmas that arise.
