Sports training & coaching

Series: Routledge Focus on Sport Pedagogy

This book offers new perspectives on game-based coaching (GBC), one of the most important practices for session design and instructional delivery in sport coaching.

GBC emphasises the sport coach as educator and the development of ‘thinking players’, and this book demonstrates what that means in practice. It brings together leading and innovative thinkers and practitioners in coaching pedagogy, and aims to stimulate reflection by the reader on their own coaching practice. Reviewing recent theoretical developments and current research in GBC, the book provides in-depth examples on how research can be applied in practice, including the use of digital video games, immersive scenario-based coaching narratives, and the Game Sense approach as ‘play with purpose’.

Representing the most up-to-date and engaging introduction to the theory and practice of GBC, this book is invaluable reading for all students of physical education and sport coaching, as well as practising coaches and coach educators.

Reviews for Perspectives on Game-Based Coaching

"""When adopting any new approach to teaching/coaching, it takes time to practice, explore, and condition students to get the most from that style. If you don’t regularly employ GBC approaches in your practice then I highly recommend taking a look at this book to get up to speed with current thinking, discourse and recommendations before giving it a try for yourself."" – Will Swaithes, @PEScholar"
