Offering a complete introduction to sport development policy and
practice, this book covers key theory, themes, issues, and debates
in sport development, without assuming any prior knowledge on the
part of the reader. It outlines the organisational landscape of
sport in the UK and explains important differences across England,
Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as well as the global
context. Examining both community and elite sport, it covers
public, private, and third sectors, including national and local
government and national governing bodies, and considers change -
cultural, managerial, social, and political - as an element of
sport development policy, strategy, and operations. Every chapter
includes an in-depth case study around which a seminar or tutorial
can be based, as well as definitions of key concepts and
terminology that students and practitioners are likely to encounter
during their studies or professional practice. Questions at the end
of each chapter encourage the reader to reflect on their own work,
and useful guides to further reading make the book an ideal jumping
off point for further study. This is the perfect foundation
textbook for any sport development course taken as part of a degree
program in sport development, sport management, or sport coaching.
