Coaching and adherence issues in youth sport

    Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

    Abstract

    The purpose of this chapter is to highlight two key themes. First, this chapter looks at an emerging field in the academic literature related to coaching in the youth sport context. The second theme describes reasons for youth sport participation including the motives for adherence to sport participation as well as the commonly identified reasons for sport withdrawal. Case-study examples are presented in the latter part of this section to explore key contextual instances for continued sport participation or withdrawal. Finally, the chapter outlines the implications of coaching within the youth sport setting in relation to continued participation into adulthood as well as for coach education.
