Underpinned by a philosophy of empowerment, athlete-centred approaches to coaching are defined by a style that promotes learning through ownership, responsibility, initiative and awareness. Perspectives on Athlete-Centred Coaching offers an in-depth theoretical examination of player-focused coaching models, and provides professional guidance for practising coaches. Written by a cast of world-leading scholars and practitioners, and offering a breadth of approaches to, and critiques of, the application of athlete-centred coaching, the book covers topics including: athlete-centred coaching and holistic development, coaching tactical creativity, athlete-centred coaching in disability sport, team culture and athlete-centred coaching, developing thinking players through Game Sense coaching, supporting athlete wellbeing, athlete-centred coaching and Teaching Games for Understanding, athlete-centred coaching in masters sport.
