ABSTRACT

GBAs such as Game Sense offer excellent opportunities for delivering high-quality coaching in team sports due to the nature of their athlete-centred, inquiry-based approach. However, with a few exceptions there has been little interest shown in adapting GBA pedagogy to individual sports and other physical activity (see Light, 2014a). This chapter provides an overview of Positive Pedagogy that begins with its development from Game Sense pedagogy (Light, 2013a) through the adaptation of the core pedagogical features of Game Sense to coaching individual sports and other physical activity.
