Acknowledgments
We would like to finish this editorial by thanking the authors and reviewers for their diligence throughout the process. The reviewers have been exceptional in terms of their criticality, patience, and willingness to encourage meaningful contributions to the body of EMCA studies in sport. In response, the authors have all demonstrated great humility when revising their work, which has undoubtedly improved the overall scholarship.
Finally, we would like to again thank Dr. Giolo Fele for starting this process with his generosity, time, and effort at Trento University. It is a great pleasure to see this collection of papers in Sports Coaching Review. Thank you.

Notes
1. We gratefully acknowledge the organisers for their time and effort to allow us the rare opportunity to discuss ethnomethodology and conversation analysis studies in sport. This special issue is an artefact of such space.
2. Throughout this special issue the papers will inevitably invoke the ethnomethodological jargon in their discussions and demonstrations of members’ local production of order. While the authors have made a concerted effort throughout their respective papers to explain such terms, ethnomethodology sometimes adopts a seemingly peculiar language. This is not gratuitous but is to explicate otherwise unexamined commonplace, tacit, and taken-for-granted understanding of people’s everyday practices.
3. The articles in this special issue reflect ethnomethodology and conversation analysis as connected approaches to the study of social action; ethnomethodology focuses on the production of situated and ordered social action of all kinds, while the specific focus of conversation analysis lies in the production and organisation of talk-in-interaction. For that reason, we have opted to keep the terms ethnomethodology and conversation analysis together. Differences in approaches can be found in the subsequent articles of the special issue.
4. See LeCouteur & Cosh (Citation2016) for a review on the main contributions of conversation analysis in sport and exercise.
5. Some authors distinguish between “weak” and “strong” versions of unique adequacy. For a recent discussion on unique adequacy see Smith (Citation2022).
