Beskrivning
Elite athletes lead a particular way of life, which creates significant learning and shapes their selves. This is the first sociological-pedagogical text to conceptualise athlete learning in elite sport and across athletic careers. It outlines theories of learning and argues for a cultural perspective capturing contextual influence, temporal changes, individual dispositions, and subjectivity. Presented in three parts—landscaping elite sport and theorising athlete learning; showcasing athletes’ learning in elite sport; and informing research and practice—the book features nine international, multi-contextual, and multi-experience case studies of athlete careers, experiences, and learning across individual and team sports such as boxing, rugby, basketball, hockey, and gymnastics. This is fascinating reading for students, researchers, and practitioners in sport organisations, sports coaching, coach education, and sport sociology and pedagogy.

Recensioner i media

"Athlete Learning in Elite Sport: A Cultural Framework provides an important link between the lifelong perspectives of athletes, sports policy and coaching that until now has not been articulated in much sports coaching literature. The perspectives presented in the book significantly broaden our conceptual toolkit for research on athlete development, provoking this reader to think about new and different questions for research. Most of all, I already have started to enjoy using the book in my teaching." - Christian Thue Bjørndal, Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, Sports Coaching Review
