Inhaltsangabe

Facilitating the learning of others is at the heart of a coach's work. Whether helping an athlete to implement changes in technique or deal with anxiety-provoking situations, learning defines coaching. This is the first book to provide a systematic introduction to learning theories - classic, critical and contemporary - and to explore their significance for coaching practice. By encouraging critical reflection on how we learn, and why we promote learning in particular ways, the book demonstrates the opportunities and challenges that are a feature of the pedagogical landscape in sport, helping the reader to articulate their own coaching philosophy and to become a more creative coach.
