Effective leadership is essential in any sports organisation, both in the board room and on the training pitch. This is the first textbook to examine sports leadership in the round, across management and coaching environments. It introduces core theory, and uses case studies to show how to apply best practice in real world settings. The book explores key contemporary issues in sport, such as motivation, communication, strategic planning, team work and managing change, drawing on expertise from around the world. With useful features in every chapter, such as professional insight boxes and guides to further reading, this is an essential text for sport management or coaching degree courses.
