part, informed by the exercise sciences, with little engagement
being made with sociocultural and pedagogical perspectives which
have emerged in sports coaching research over the last two decades.
In Understanding Strength and Conditioning as Sport Coaching:
Bridging the Biophysical, Pedagogical and Sociocultural Foundations
of Practice, the authors - whose expertise span strength and
conditioning, sports coaching and pedagogy - help students and
coaches to integrate perspectives from these disciplines to enhance
their strength and conditioning coaching practice. The book
encourages readers to add moral, ethical and political
considerations to the technical aspects of their coaching practice.
It discusses and applies concepts to a full range of strength and
conditioning settings, including elite performance, young athletes,
ageing athletes and returning to play following injury. Featuring
an eResource, and structured around rich, narrative pedagogical
cases reflecting the issues faced by practising strength and
conditioning coaches, the book offers a thoroughly engaging
introduction to pedagogical and sociocultural concepts and
literature in a strength and conditioning context. This is a vital
book for students of strength and conditioning, and an important
resource for practising strength and conditioning coaches and sport
science staff.
Global interest in quality sport coaching is at an all-time high,
but until now, there hasn't been a go-to resource to help national
governing bodies, sport organizations, or coach educators within
universities to structure coach education, learning, and
development. Coach Education and Development in Sport fills that
gap, offering a comprehensive guide of instructional strategies
used by world leaders in coach education. Each chapter is written
by experienced scholar-practitioners, seamlessly integrating
personal experience and insight with current research to show how
and why to use an instructional strategy in a specific context that
can be adopted or adapted to fit many sport contexts. Covering
essential topics such as reflective practice, social learning,
online technology, diverse populations, and more, the book provides
the fundamentals of tried and trusted instructional strategies to
develop coaches from youth, club and collegiate sport to elite,
professional, and Olympic levels. It is a complete resource for
fostering coaching excellence in small- and large-scale
programming, and from volunteer to part-time or full-time coaches.
Designed to stimulate ideas and provide flexible, practical tools,
this book is an essential read for anybody working in sport,
including coach developers, sport managers, coaches, mentors,
athletic directors, sport psychology consultants, and teachers or
professors.
