Sports Coaching Research: Context, Consequences, and Consciousness

By David Andrews, Hugh Lauder, Anthony Bush, et al.

Book Overview

This book raises critical questions about the explanatory framework guiding sports coaching research and presents a new conceptualization for research in the field. Through mapping and contextualizing sports coaching research within a corporatized higher education, the dominant or legitimate forms of sports coaching knowledge are problematized and a new vision of the field, which is socially and culturally responsive, communitarian and justice-oriented emerges.
