This book focuses on sports coaching and sports teaching and how
touching young sports participants has been redefined as dubious
and dangerous. Coaches are constrained by a framework of
regulations and guidelines which create anxiety, and many coaches
now question the risks and benefits of their continuing
involvement. The book includes some data from a recently completed
ESRC project: ('Hands-off' sports coaching: the politics of touch)
and builds on previous ESRC research (Touchlines - the problematic
of touching between children and professionals) which illuminated
tensions in touching behaviours between professionals and children
in education and care settings. It considers the negative effects
of particular understandings of risk and moral panic around
touching and related behaviours where adults, children and young
people interact, and makes a significant contribution to critical
discussions around related practice, pedagogy, politics, and
policy. While focussed on sports coaching and teaching, it is
germane to the situation of all those acting in loco parentis. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Sport Education
and Society.
