This book lifts the lid on the high pressured, complex world of
women's artistic gymnastics. By adopting a socio-cultural lens
incorporating historical, sociological and psychological
perspectives, it takes the reader through the story and workings of
women's artistic gymnastics. Beginning with its early history as a
'feminine appropriate' sport, the book follows the sport through
its transition to a modern sports form. Including global cases and
innovative narrative methods, it explores the way gymnasts have
experienced its intense challenges, the complexities of the
coach-athlete relationship, and how others involved in the sport,
such as parents and medical personnel, have contributed to the
reproduction of a highly demanding and potentially abusive sporting
culture. With the focus on a unique women's sport, the book is an
important read for researchers and students studying sport
sociology, sport coaching, and physical education, but it is also a
valuable resource for anyone interested in the development of
sporting talent.
