This book celebrates two important aspects of the London 2012
Olympic and Paralympic Games. (1) For those involved in any aspect
of Olympism, and particularly coaches and athletes, London 2012 was
about realising dreams, achieving success and participating in
competitive sport at the highest level. This book sets out some of
these dreams and the part coaches play in this. (2) The book also
looks at the notion of 'coaching-for-performance' and does this
from an international and multi-sport perspective. From interviews
with Olympic coaches, the experiences of those working in the field
of high performance and from applied sport researchers, the book
uses the metaphor of the 'coach-as-alchemist' in order to capture
the dynamics of coach-athlete relationships and performance. Sports
such as diving, swimming, gymnastics, skiing are included as well
as individual and team sports. The book is set within the context
of elite sport, high performance and coaching. Its contents
illuminate two important kinds of reflective practice: (a)
Reflection-ON-action (b) Reflection-FOR-action. The style of
presentation includes narratives, reflective conversations,
ethnographic work, interview analysis and video-clips available
on-line. This book was published as a special issue of Reflective
Practice.
