Summary:
"Learning to Mentor in Sports Coaching is an innovative, user-friendly practical and theoretical guide for educating sports coaches as mentors. It is the first book to employ design thinking techniques to develop a new approach to mentor education in sports coaching.

It covers topics such as: - supporting novice volunteer coaches' learning - the learning needs of novice volunteer coaches and novice professional coaches - professional communities of learning in coaching - the impact of coaching behaviours on learning environments - autonomy-supportive learning environments - coaching children, young people and adults Closing with a critique of the sports coach mentor as design thinker, Learning to Mentor in Sports Coaching is important reading for any upper-level student or researcher working in sports coaching, sports pedagogy or youth sport, and any coach looking to integrate sound mentoring theory into their professional practice"-- Provided by publisher.
