"Sport coaching has grown significantly as an area of research interest with an expanding number of sport coaching programs offered. The past decade or so has also seen significant interest in games-based approaches to coaching and teaching games. On a global basis, Game Sense is one of the most recognized athlete-centred approaches for team sports, probably close behind Teaching Games for Understanding. Game Sense for Coaching and Teaching provides an understanding of how an Australian approach to coaching has grown and developed as it is taken up across the globe. While the focus is on Game Sense, it also offers insights into how any coaching or PE teaching approach changes as it is adapted to different contexts across the world examining the theoretical, historical and philosophical foundations of sport coaching and teaching in schools. This book is particular use for undergraduate and post graduate sport coaching and PE courses but is also likely to also be of interest for all practicing sports coaches or physical education teachers and lecturers"-- Provided by publisher.
