The ConstraintsLed Approach: Principles for Sports Coaching and Practice Design (Routledge Studies in ConstraintsBased Methodo

For the last 25 years, a constraintsbased framework has helped to inform the way that many sport scientists seek to understand performance, learning design and the development of expertise and talent in sport. The ConstraintsLed Approach: Principles for Sports Coaching and Practice Design provides students and practitioners with the theoretical knowledge required to implement constraintsled approaches in their work.Seeking to bridge the divide between theory and practice, the book sets out an ?environment design framework?, including practical tools and guidance for the application of the framework in coaching and skill acquisition settings. It includes chapters on constraintsled approaches in golf, athletics and hockey, and provides applied reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of motor learning, skill acquisition and developing sport expertise.Providing a thorough grounding in the theory behind constraintsled approaches to skill acquisition, and a foundational cornerstone in the Routledge Studies in ConstraintsBased Methodologies in Sport series, this is a vital pedagogical resource for students and practising sports coaches, physical education teachers and sport scientists alike.
