While it is accepted that sport coaches should safeguard
participants, Care in Sport Coaching: Pedagogical Cases argues that
coaches have a duty of care that moves beyond protection and
involves the development of caring relationships with athletes.
Recent high-profile incidents of abuse in sport highlight the need
to reposition coaching as a caring activity and to embed care
within coach education and coaching policy. Based around extended
case studies, this book provides grounded accounts of how coaches
care in their everyday practice. These case studies are analysed
using multidisciplinary theoretical perspectives to illustrate and
problematise how coaches care. Conclusions are provided, based on
these analyses, that will help coach educators, researchers and
policy makers establish care as a key facet of everyday sport
coaching activities. Additionally, the book offers guidelines that
will aid practitioners to enact care in their practice. This is
important reading for coaches, researchers, lecturers and students
who are concerned with the role of coaches and the development of
coaching practice.
