Book Description

The Routledge Handbook of Coach Development in Sport is a comprehensive text that underscores the importance of leaing and context for those who sculpt the environment in which people of all ages develop in and through sport.Coaches and those responsible for the development of coaches are best positioned as both leaers and facilitators of leaing. As sport becomes more globalised, the concomitant professionalisation of coaches necessitates ongoing leaing and development to embrace new knowledge and understanding. Moreover, contemporary coach development presents as a wicked problem, in that it continues to evolve, it is contextually bound, and there is no single or obvious way to approach it. Problematically, there is often limited assistance available to support coaches and coach developers in their ongoing development. As such, this book provides a truly inteational reference point that brings together leading scholars and practitioners from across the globe to provide an overview of the theories and practices of coaches and coach developers that are impacting the quality of sporting environments.Therefore, this book is an important reference for researchers, scholars, and practitioners alike in the fields of Sport Coaching, Coach Development, Sport Development, Sport for Development, Physical Education and related disciplines.
