TAILIEUCHUNG - UNDERSTANDING SPORTS COACHING THE SOCIAL, CULTURAL AND PEDAGOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF COACHING PRACTICE

For five years I have been lecturing in a school of physical education (it could equally be described as a department of human movement, exercise science or kinesiology) where I teach a compulsory pedagogy course to approximately 220 undergraduates. The course has not been particularly popular with students, the most common objection being – ‘I’m not going to be a teacher, so why do I have to do pedagogy?’ Over the years I have tried different strategies in an effort to make the course more obviously relevant to students without compromising its educational content | UNDERSTANDING SPORTS COACHING THE SOCIAL CULTURAL AND PEDAGOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF COACHING PRACTICE Tania Cassidy Robyn Jones and Paul Potrac 0 Routledge Taylor Francis Group LONDON AND NEW YORK Also available as a printed book see title verso for ISBN details UNDERSTANDING SPORTS COACHING Sports coaching is as dependent on utilising good teaching and social practices as it is about expertise in sport skills and tactics. Quality sports coaches commonly engage in practices usually associated with teaching such as reflection feedback and instructional methods. However many do so implicitly and without an explicit understanding of the complex interplay between coach player content and social context. Understanding Sports Coaching provides an innovative introduction to the theory and practice of sports coaching highlighting the social cultural and pedagogical concepts underpinning good practice. The book aims to deepen coaches understanding of the coaching process in order to develop coaching programmes that are designed to get the very best out of athletes. It explores many aspects of coaching practice including Athlete motivation Viewing the athlete as a learner Instructional methods Coaches content knowledge Reflection Coaching philosophy and ethics The book includes practical exercises to highlight issues faced by sports coaches. This book is essential reading for students of sports coaching and for professional coaches looking to develop their skills.
