This enlightening Handbook draws on a broad array of interdisciplinary fields to provide a nuanced exploration of contemporary research in sports coaching. Esteemed scholars assess cutting edge scholarship, uncovering potential tensions and contestations while encouraging future debate.

Chapters examine methodological conventions, theoretical contributions and practical implications of coaching sport in different contexts. Across four sections focussing on perspectives from psychology, pedagogy and sociology and future research avenues, international scholars explore a range of key themes and underpinnings of the field. Authors assess topics such as coaching young and adult athletes, using technological innovations and self-development and burnout in coaches. They also draw from a range of perspectives including critical disability studies, poststructuralism and Indigenous knowledge.

The Handbook of Sport Coaching Research is an essential resource for students and academics in sports management, education, psychology, sociology, business and management and economics. It is also a valuable reference for sports practitioners, managers and educators looking to understand past and future sports coaching research.
