Touch in Sports Coaching and Physical Education

Fear, Risk and Moral Panic
Herausgeber: Piper, Heather

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In our risk-averse society, touch and touching behaviours between professionals and children have become a fraught issue. In sports coaching and physical education, touching young sports performers and participants has, in some contexts, come to be redefined as dubious and dangerous. This is the first book to explore this difficult topic in detail. Drawing on a series of international studies, it presents important new research evidence and examines theories of risk and moral panic that frame the discussion. By challenging prevailing orthodoxies it makes a significant contribution to critical discussion around practice, pedagogy, politics and policy in sport and physical education.
