In our increasingly risk-averse society, touch and touching
behaviours between professionals and children have become a fraught
issue. In sports coaching and physical education, touching young
sports performers and participants has, in some contexts, come to
be redefined as dubious and dangerous. Coaches find themselves
operating in a framework of regulations and guidelines that create
anxiety, for them and others, and for many volunteer (and sometimes
professional) coaches, this fearful context has led them to
question the risks and benefits of their continuing involvement in
sport. Touch in Sports Coaching and Physical Education is the first
book to explore this difficult topic in detail. Drawing on a series
of international studies from the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Sweden
and elsewhere, it presents important new research evidence and
examines theories of risk and moral panic that frame the
discussion. By challenging prevailing orthodoxies the book makes a
significant contribution to critical discussion around practice,
pedagogy, politics and policy in sport and physical education, and
also informs current debates around the nature and quality of all
in loco parentis relationships.
