A fundamental component of the Olympic ideal is the concept of
Olympic education. This is the notion that sport can help children
and young people develop essential life skills. Olympic Education:
An international review is the first book to offer a comprehensive
survey of the diffusion and implementation of Olympic education
programmes around the world. The book includes 28 chapters with 21
national case studies of countries on every major continent,
including Australia, Brasil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan,
Russia, Spain, the UK, the US and Zambia. Each chapter examines the
cultural, pedagogical, political and societal challenges of
teaching Olympic education, as well as the national, individual and
institutional programmes that have emerged. It explores key
practical and conceptual issues, such as the incorporation of
Olympic values in PE curricula, sport coaching and coach education
programmes, while also taking into account the collaborative
efforts of the governmental bodies, sport federations and Olympic
institutions responsible for policy and implementation. This is
important reading for all students, researchers and professionals
with an interest in the Olympics, sport education, sports coaching,
sport policy or physical education.
