Description and Table of Contents
Description
The book explicitly and rigorously discusses the practice of sports coaching from pedagogical and sociocultural perspectives
It is specifically framed by a view of pedagogy that acknowledges the interplay between the coach, the athlete(s),
The book presents an introduction into the sociological and pedagogical research which has been prominent in coaching research over the past decade.
Encourages the readers to engage with the ideas expressed in the text and coaching practices by providing engaging and topical exercises at the end of each section.
Enables readers to become reflexive practitioners by recognising that interpretations of sports coaching are "'produced' and not 'found'
