What is Coaching Knowledges : Understanding the Dynamics of Sport Performance about?

A study of coaching practices that rely on knowledge of the pedagogical, sociological, physiological and psychological aspects of training. Too often coaching is seen by sports science students as mechanistic and prescriptive. What a coach does in training and on the sidelines, however, is far more complex and involved than simply setting exercises and drills. Effective coaching requires a range of 'knowledges', from the pedagogical to the sociological, physiological and psychological. In this book teachers, lecturers and coaches from Bath University's 'Team Bath' coaching and teaching faculty look at how various 'knowledges' influence every coach's daily practices. The book has three sections. The first section is written by sports scholars who have or are still coaching. Section two is written by coach educators who are active elite coaches. The final section features three in-depth interviews with three master international coaches
