Produktbeschreibung

Now in a fully updated and revised second edition, An Introduction to Sports Coaching introduces students to the complex, messy, multi-faceted nature of coaching, and explores the full range of 'knowledges' which inform all successful coaching practice. Each chapter makes a clear link between theory and practice, and includes discussion of real-life coaching scenarios and insights from practising coaches. The book includes clear definitions of important themes and concepts, as well as review questions at the end of each chapter. No other introductory textbook explains the importance of an holistic approach to sports coaching practice. This is an essential companion to any sports coaching course.
