The application of the theoretical underpinnings of coaching to
practice is a central concern in sport. How should academic
research seek to inform applied practice, and how should practising
coaches integrate research into their professional activities?
Sports Coaching: A Theoretical and Practical Guide is the first
book to truly integrate academic research on sports coaching with
an assessment of and recommendations for applied practice. With
every chapter written by a coaching researcher and a practising
coach, the book clearly and concisely introduces the academic
evidence base and discusses how and why theory should be integrated
into practice. Made up of sections on coaching practice, coach
education and development, the use of sport science support and
coaching special populations, the book constitutes a comprehensive
guide to the theory and practice of sports coaching. Chapters are
clearly and consistently structured, allowing students and coaches
opportunity to gain a firm understanding of the core theoretical
principles of sports coaching and the ways in which they can guide
practice. The book is a vital resource for any sports coaching
student, researcher or practitioner to develop their
evidence-informed practice.
