Coaching adventure sports is part of the core work of many
adventure educators but has been largely neglected in the adventure
studies literature. This is the first book to link contemporary
sports coaching science with adventure sports practice. It examines
the unique set of challenges faced by adventure sports coaches,
such as the dynamic natural environment and the requirement to
train athletes to levels of high performance outside of traditional
structures of competition, and explores both key theory and best
practice. The book covers key topics such as: Skill acquisition and
skill development Models of learning and teaching Performance
analysis Tactics and decision-making Training principles Mental
skills techniques Goal setting and progression Risk management Each
chapter contains applied examples from a range of adventure sports,
including mountaineering, rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking,
surfing, and winter sport, as well as practical coaching techniques
and a guide to further reading. Written by a team of authors with
wide experience of coaching, teaching, researching and high
performance participation in adventure sports, this book is
invaluable reading for any student or practitioner with an interest
in adventure, outdoor education, sports coaching or lifestyle
sport.
