Success in high performance sport is highly valued in today's
world, with lucrative contracts, sponsorship deals, and
opportunities for celebrity status balanced against substantial
investments of time and energy, and high chances of failure. With
pressure mounting on athletes and coaches to make the most of
athletic investments, the temptation to make health-related or
ethical compromises is growing. Sustainability in High Performance
Sport examines the pressures faced by coaches and athletes, and
considers how sustainable science can offer alternative pathways to
sporting excellence. By applying principles relating to carrying
capacities, complexity and uncertainty, production and consumption,
and ethics, this unique book provides new ways of thinking about
both enduring and emerging challenges. With a scope that includes
themes such as coaching practices, coach-athlete relationships,
over-training and injuries, the development of sporting expertise,
and doping, Sustainability in High Performance Sport is the most
comprehensive exploration of sustainability in elite sport
available. It is an invaluable resource for anybody with an
interest in achieving long-term success in high performance sport.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Reflective
Practice.
