This is the first sociological-pedagogical text to conceptualise athlete learning in elite sport and across athletic careers. It outlines theories of learning and argues for a cultural perspective capturing contextual influence, temporal changes, individual dispositions, and subjectivity. Presented in three parts--landscaping elite sport and theorising athlete learning; showcasing athletes' learning in elite sport; and informing research and practice--the book features nine international, multi-contextual, and multi-experience case studies of athlete careers, experiences, and learning across individual and team sports such as boxing, rugby, basketball, hockey, and gymnastics. This is fascinating reading for students, researchers, and practitioners in sport organisations, sports coaching, coach education, and sport sociology and pedagogy UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781315111025 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
