Teaching the skills necessary to play sport depends partly on
transmitting knowledge verbally, yet non-verbal or tacit knowledge
also has an important role. A coach may tell a young athlete to
'move more dynamically', but it is undoubtedly easier to
demonstrate with the body itself how this should be done. Skills
such as developing a 'feel for the water' cannot simply be
transmitted verbally; they are embodied in the tacit knowledge
acquired from practice, repetition and experience. This is the
first sociological study of the transmission of skills through
tacit knowledge in sport. Drawing on philosophy, sociology and
theories of embodiment, it presents original research gathered from
qualitative empirical studies of young athletes. It discusses the
concept of tacit knowledge in relation to motor skills transmission
in a variety of sports, including athletics, swimming and judo, and
examines the methodological possibilities of studying tacit
knowledge, as well as its challenges and limitations. This is
fascinating reading for all those with an interest in the sociology
of sport, theories of embodiment, or skill acquisition and
transmission.
