Coaching Children in Sport - Principles and Practice (Paperback)

Children participate in sport at all levels, from school involvement to international competitions. With the growing concern about the mental and physical pressures which can be exerted on a child, the coach's traditional role is developing and expanding. They now need to be aware of the ways problems like depression, anxiety and sports injuries occur and how they can be prevented. This book has been written to fill the gap which exists between the theory and practice of coaching children. Academics (many with coaching experience) and practitioners have been commissioned to write on their specialist areas. The book contains clear, accessible information divided up into five parts: children in the world of sport; developmental changes in children; psychological aspects of participation; applications to the coaching process; and good practice in coaching. Within these parts, the theory behind the need for good communication, counselling, training, dealing with injuries and nutrition is given, along with examples of how to put these ideas into practice. This book should be of interest to sports coaches and undergraduates on physical education, sports studies and sports science courses
