Understanding Strength and Conditioning as Sport Coaching: Bridging the Biophysical, Pedagogical and Sociocultural Foundations of Practice

Autor Tania Cassidy, Phil Handcock, Brian Gearity, Lisette Burrows
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mai 2020
Contemporary strength and conditioning coaching is, for the most part, informed by the exercise sciences, with little engagement being made with sociocultural and pedagogical perspectives which have emerged in sports coaching research over the last two decades. In Understanding Strength and Conditioning as Sport Coaching: Bridging the Biophysical, Pedagogical and Sociocultural Foundations of Practice, the authors – whose expertise span strength and conditioning, sports coaching and pedagogy – help students and coaches to integrate perspectives from these disciplines to enhance their strength and conditioning coaching practice.
The book encourages readers to add moral, ethical and political considerations to the technical aspects of their coaching practice. It discusses and applies concepts to a full range of strength and conditioning settings, including elite performance, young athletes, ageing athletes and returning to play following injury.
Featuring an eResource, and structured around rich, narrative pedagogical cases reflecting the issues faced by practising strength and conditioning coaches, the book offers a thoroughly engaging introduction to pedagogical and sociocultural concepts and literature in a strength and conditioning context. This is a vital book for students of strength and conditioning, and an important resource for practising strength and conditioning coaches and sport science staff.

We are only ever uncovering "truths for now". Understanding Strength and Conditioning as Sport Coaching challenges these truths, challenges our everyday practices and asks us to actively engage in our own critical thinking. Participating in these processes are integral to growth and mastery. Worthy ambitions"
-Jason Cowman, Head of Athletic Performance, National Team, Irish Rugby Football Union.
"Until now, the role of the coach in strength and conditioning has been overlooked. This book looks at strength and conditioning from a coaching perspective, covering the key interdisciplinary knowledge that a successful coach requires. This type of thinking will change our perspective of strength and conditioning and help develop the coach of the future."
