ABSTRACT

This chapter will investigate the use of technology, specifically digital and information technology, in sport coaching and discuss some of the recent innovations that are changing how coaches analyse performance and provide feedback to their athletes; in other words how technology is changing the coaching process. As it would be impossible to cover all types and uses of such technology in sport, this chapter will focus on a few areas of interest with some practical examples to illustrate the use of digital technologies in current and emerging coaching practices.
