Sport is often perceived as being divided into two separate
domains: mass participation and elite . In many countries, policy
and funding in these two fields are managed by separate agencies,
and investment is often seen as a choice between the two. Elite
Sport and Sport-for-All explores the points of connection and
sources of tension between elite and mass participation sport. The
book's multi-disciplinary and international line-up of contributors
seeks to define, examine, and develop solutions to this problematic
relationship. Drawing on research and case studies from around the
world-with examples from Denmark, Canada, South Africa and
Israel-the book explores key contemporary issues including: does
effective talent identification require depth of participation? do
elite performances inspire greater participation? the role of the
Paralympic movement in mass participation and elite sport; and the
economic aspects of their co-existence. The first study of its
kind, Elite Sport and Sport-for-All addresses a central dichotomy
in sport policy and, as such, is important reading for all
students, researchers, policy-makers or administrators working in
sport development and policy.
