| Résumé : |
The professionalisation of sports coaching has demanded higher standards of leadership, in order to improve coaching effectiveness and sports governance. This book focuses on leadership in sports coaching, exploring key concepts and principles, and presenting case studies and new empirical research material that strengthen the evidence base. At the centre of the book is social identity theory, a theory not previously applied to coaching, that provides students and researchers with a new tool for understanding the complex social dynamic that is the coaching process. The book explores key issues such as leadership style, measuring effectiveness, motivation, confidence and team self-esteem. |
