In this fresh and engaging introduction to sports coaching, Lynn
Kidman and Stephanie Hanrahan guide students through the coaching
process. Focusing on the practical aspects of sports coaching, the
book helps students to develop their basic technical skills as well
as strategies for working with individual and team athletes, and to
plan and implement effective coaching sessions.
The book develops an "athlete-centred approach" to sports
coaching, by which athletes take ownership of their learning, in
turn strengthening their abilities to retain key skills and to make
effective decisions during competition. Useful pedagogical features
in each chapter, such as real life case studies, activities,
self-reflection questions, and summaries of current research and
best practice, encourage reflective practice and help student
coaches to develop and extend their coaching techniques and
philosophies.
The Coaching Process is invaluable reading for any student
starting a sports coaching course at college or university, and for
any coach working with athletes or children in sport who wants to
improve their practical skills.
