Inhaltsangabe

A Behavioral Approach for Sport Coaches offers sport coaches key pedagogical strategies that will help the development of technical and tactical aspects of game play and strengthen players’ understanding of game play in action (also referred to as “game sense”) while giving a strong emphasis on the pedagogical dimensions of sport coaching as well as how to develop fair play.

Employing a well-established and evidence-based behavioral framework that can be used across sports, and competition levels, A Behavioral Approach for Sport includes strategies aimed at supporting players’ fair play behavior seen as an essential responsibility of coaches especially given the ever-increasing industrialization of sport.
