| Summary |
Many observers have pointed out what is wrong with youth sport: an emphasis on winning at all costs; parental over-involvement; high participation costs that exclude many families; lack of vigorous physical activity; lack of player engagement; and no focus on development. Currently, most attempts at righting the wrongs of youth sport have focused on coach education and curriculum, but in this book, the authors offer a different approach-one that involves changing the game itself. This work combines vivid examples and case studies of innovative sport programmes who are re-designing their sport with a comprehensive toolkit for practitioners on how to change their game for bigger and better outcomes |
