Disability sport coaching: "You just coach the athlete, not the disability" | Disability and parasport provide visibility and representation of disability and disabled people, providing a space where cultural understandings of ‘disability’ can be challenged and reshaped. As a result, disability and parasport is often assumed a ‘non-disabling’ site or associated with disability ‘empowerment’ and identity work, that is resisting and reconstructing negative disability-specific associations. The disability and parasport field, is therefore, replete with the encouragement and development of ‘athlete-first’ or ‘athlete-centred’ discourses. However, few critically interrogate these notions, and as a concept ‘athlete-centred’ has become ‘taken-for-granted’, is presented uncritically and enthusiastically accepted as a ‘good’ for disability and parasport. The purpose of this chapter is to contribute to discourses on the social construction of disability in sport and through coaching. In particular, challenging the notion of ‘coach the athlete not the disability’ discourses as ‘empowerment’, highlighting the sometimes unintended consequences of well-intended actions that reside in in social formations where power relations mediate. | Cushion, Chris Huntley, Tabo Townsend, Robert C. |

James Wallis | WALLIS, JAMES (1809-95) was born at Blackwall, near Poplar, London. As a young man he became a local preacher, and he was received into the Wesleyan ministry in 1833. After spending a year in the Ely circuit, he left for New Zealand in the Brazil Packet, arriving at Hokianga on 1 Dec 1834. He assisted to build the mission house at Mangungu, and was attached for some time to the Hokianga station. Whiteley and Woon were sent to establish missions on Kawhia harbour, and Wallis to establish one at Te Horea, Whangaroa. He walked to his station from Kawhia, and lived in a rush hut until he built a dwelling to which his wife could come. At Te Horea he erected the first church in Raglan district. Work had scarcely been commenced when instructions were received from the London committee to leave the field to the Anglicans, and Wallis was removed to Tangiteroria, where he did pioneer work in the Kaipara district. The chiefs insisted on the return of their spiritual fathers, and in 1838 Wallis recommenced his work at Whaingaroa, where he remained until 1862. He was very successful with the natives. Absolutely fearless, he once stood between a company of infuriated local natives and some warriors from Waipa, and ultimately established peace. Amongst his converts were Hamiora Ngaropi (of Whatawhata), Wiremu Patene (of Karakariki), and the great Tainui warrior, Te Awaitaia (q.v.), who later was baptised as Wiremu Naera (William Naylor). Largely through Te Awaitaia's influence Wallis and Whiteley were able to act as mediators between hostile tribes, to curb the Waikato, to establish peace between them and the Taranaki tribes, and to secure the liberation of slaves. When the 10 chiefs in the Kawhia region signed the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 their signatures were witnessed by Wallis and Whiteley. Wallis had a constitution that could endure hardships. In Mar 1841 he walked from Raglan to Port Nicholson accompanied by natives. At Ngamotu he found the first company of New Plymouth settlers and held service with them. Finding Te Heuheu, the chief of Taupo, engaged in warfare near Wanganui, he exerted his influence to restore harmony. In 1863 Wallis was transferred to European work. He spent three years at Onehunga and two years at Pitt Street Church, Auckland. In 1868 he was superannuated. His wife died on 8 Feb 1893, and his own death occurred on 5 Jul 1895. Buller; Morley (p); W. and Williams; N.Z. Herald, 6, 20 Jul 1895. | Volume 2, page 231 |
James Wallis | WALLIS, JAMES (1825-1912) was born in Aberdeenshire and educated at Aberdeen University, where he graduated M.A. (1844). He was a profound Greek scholar. As a clergyman, and later a missionary of the Presbyterian Church, he ministered in Dundee and Aberdeen and at Essequibo and Demerara, in British Guiana. With the object of becoming a medical missionary he passed as a surgeon at Edinburgh (1863), and two years later he began to visit New Zealand as a surgeon in the Rangitoto and other vessels. He was for a few years in charge of St David's Church and then, outside of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, he built Newton Kirk, where he preached as an independent for some years. Dissensions arising, he sold his property in 1881 and farmed at Riverhead until 1896, when he moved to Richmond. Standing as an independent, Wallis was M.H.R. for Auckland City West (1877-81). He afterwards supported Grey. He was a strong advocate of woman's suffrage and introduced a bill in 1878. He contested a city seat in 1896. Wallis married (1862) Elizabeth (d. 1904) daughter of Dr Richard Poole (Edinburgh). He died on 25 May 1912. N.Z.P.D., 27 Jun 1912; Cycl. N.Z. ii (p); N.Z. Herald, 27 May 1912. Portrait: Parliament House. | Volume 2, page 231 |
