ABSTRACT
There were elements of pedagogical practice throughout the 2002 edition of this book, but we felt that it was appropriate to provide a more specific and in-depth focus on pedagogy. There is a good deal of supporting literature (Jones 2006a; Cassidy et al. 2009; Lyle & Cushion 2010; Armour 2011) with excellent prescriptions for practice, but we stress that our approach is not simply to review the literature but to consider how coaching pedagogy impacts on the development of the conceptual framework. We have also drawn on our experience as coaches and coach developers, while attempting to situate pedagogical practice within the coaching process. The chapter is given its character by (1) focusing on the implications for the coach’s practice behaviour; and (2) providing a case study on creating a performance sport learning environment.
