Publisher Description: Sports development takes place in continually evolving - and expanding - territory. If new policies are to be implemented effectively, it is vital to understand how development policy translates into the real world.

As well as critical analysis of models and concepts in sports development, Examining Sports Development presents original case studies from practising sports development professionals working in a variety of areas, including:

This book encourages critical reflection, pointing the way to accountable policymaking and a long-term future for sports development professionals. It is essential reading for all students and practitioners working in sports development. |
