This book expands on the 'Developing Thinking Players' model across
a wide range of team and individual sports, to explain how coaches
can help athletes to learn how to make better decisions during play
and to think for themselves. It provides an overview of
game-centred and athlete-centred approaches to teaching and
coaching in sport, combining essential theory with practical tips
and guidance. Written by an international team of coaching
researchers and practising coaches, the book provides
sport-specific instructions for coaching players in territory
games, net games, striking games, target games, racquet games and
combat sports, including netball, basketball, ice hockey, cricket,
softball, football, rugby, volleyball, squash and karate. The book
argues that the implementation of these student and athlete-centred
approaches creates more opportunities for athletes to understand
their sport and improves their ability to think for themselves and
to learn to make better in-game decisions. Providing a theoretical
underpinning for teaching tactical decision-making, it considers
the development of players at all levels and age groups, from youth
athletes to elite level. Thirteen sport-specific case studies offer
real-world coaching insights. This is essential reading for any
student, researcher or practising teacher or coach working in
sport, physical education and coach education.
