Although women and girls participate in sport in greater numbers
than ever before, research shows there has been no significant
increase in women leading sport organizations. This book takes an
international, evidence-based perspective in examining women in
sport leadership and offers future directions for improving gender
equity. With contributions from leading international sport
scholars and practitioners, it explores the opportunities and
challenges women face while exercising leadership in sport
organizations and evaluates leadership development practices. While
positional leadership is crucial, this book argues that some women
may choose to exercise leadership in non-positional ways,
challenging readers to consider their personal values and passions.
The chapters not only discuss key topics such as gender bias,
intersectionality, quotas, networking, mentoring and sponsoring,
but also present a variety of strategies to develop and support the
next generation of women leaders in sport. A new model of how to
achieve gender equity in sport leadership is also introduced. Women
in Sport Leadership: Research and Practice for Change is important
reading for all students, scholars, leaders, administrators, and
coaches with an interest in sport business, policy and management,
as well as women's sport and gender studies.
This practical textbook explains the sport development process from
a practitioner's viewpoint, showing what actually works, how, and
why. Focusing on the development of sport, the book considers the
efforts of sport organisations to revitalise their sports at a
community level to ensure their future relevance, growth, and
sustainability. Full of real-world cases and data, as well as the
voices and reflections of a wide range of practitioners, Sport
Development in Action explains how to research and draw up a
development plan, how to design and implement programmes and
establish delivery networks, and how to monitor and evaluate
initiatives. This is essential reading for any sport development
course, and useful reading for courses in sport management, sports
coaching, or sports studies. It is also an indispensable reference
book for practitioners.

The book addresses a crucial issue for all involved in education
and training: the transfer of learning to new and different
contexts. Educators, employers and learners face the problem of
ensuring that what is learnt in the classroom is able to be adapted
and used in the workplace. It focuses on adult learners in
professional and vocational contexts. The authors provide an
accessible book on the transfer of learning which draws on
multi-disciplinary perspectives from education, psychology and
management. The Transfer of Learning will be useful both for
postgraduate students and for practitioners wanting to deepen their
understanding of transfer and for those interested in practical
applications. It combines theory and practice from international
research and the authors' own case studies of transfer involving
learners engaged in professional development and study towards
qualifications. Theories of adult learning, change and lifelong
learning are discussed in relation to the transfer of learning. The
purpose of this book is to emphasise to tertiary educators and
trainers the importance of transfer and in doing so highlight the
participants' voices as central foci in coming to an understanding
of the process. By doing this it balances the literature which has
to date emphasized transfer from a trainer's and/or organization's
perspective. There has been little if any substantive material on
tertiary transfer issues and yet demands are increasing for
tertiary education providers to be more accountable and more
focused on developing students' ability to use their learning in
everyday work situations. The book is unique in that it adopts a
phenomenological perspective and underscores the significance of
the participants' voices in understanding issues.
