Recensioner i media

''The editors state the purpose of this book as being "to make a 'position statement' about the nature of coaching, and our understanding of it 'in practice' (p. xi). In many ways the book can be seen as a sequel to John Lyle's seminal and widely cited book "Sports Coaching Concepts. The book is also highly recommended to serious coaches, who will find practical value from chapters such as those on athlete development, planning, ethics, coaching philosophy; as well the chapters on pedagogy.Simon Jenkins
