Managing Elite Sport Systems
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-80327-5 (ISBN)
The book draws on the theoretical literature in implementation, organisation theory, leadership and complexity. This provides an initial context for analysis and a stimulus for theory development around key questions such as:
How do coaches manage their relationship with athletes?
How does talent identification operate in practice?
Do coaches fulfil the role of gatekeeper between the athlete and other elements of the sports system e.g. sports science support?
How do managers, support staff and athletes interpret the expectations placed on them?
The first part of the book focuses on aspects of the effectiveness of elite sports systems and the second explores aspects of systems operation focused on the interface between the athlete and the sport development system, and cross-cutting themes within the book include the management of talent identification and coach development. This is illuminating reading for any student, researcher or practitioner working in sport development, sport management or sports coaching.
