This book explores the historical development of coaching
traditions across Europe, placing national approaches to coaching
within their cultural and political context. Sports coaching is a
social practice that has been shaped by its cultural context,
resulting in different countries being characterized by different
coaching traditions. By helping us to understand the history of
coaching across Europe, this book allows us to better understand
both the history of sport and the cultural and social history of
Western European nations. Drawing on cutting-edge historical
research by international scholars, the book presents studies of
coaching cultures in France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden,
Norway and the United Kingdom. It explores how sporting histories,
cultural attitudes, and social contexts resulted in distinctive
coaching heritages, which were further shaped through coach
migration and the adoption of elements of other countries' coaching
structures. This book explores these phenomena to provide critical
evidence of the historical impact of culture on the development of
sports coaching. The book offers insight into the characteristics
of European coaching traditions. It will be fascinating reading for
academics in sports history, sports and coaching studies, gender
studies, and transnational studies, as well as those with an
interest in British or European history and social and cultural
history.
