Sport Coaching Research and Practice

Ontology, Interdisciplinarity and Critical Realism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Research shapes our understanding of practice in powerful and important ways, in sports coaching as in any other discipline. In this innovative study, leading coaching researchers explore the philosophical foundations of coaching research, examining the embedded links between policy, practice and the research process, and arguing that the meta-theoretical assumptions of traditional single-disciplinary accounts, such as those based in psychology or sociology, risk over-simplifying our understanding of what coaching is and how it is practiced.
