Description

Sports development organisations face numerous challenges in a world of competing priorities and economic uncertainty. This book presents a new conceptual model, 'Sporting Capital', which has the potential to transform public policy and practice in sports development. The central argument is that a model of Sporting Capital, with its three domains of physiological, social and psychological attributes, provides a missing framework for sustained growth in community sport. The author examines patterns of sports participation in relation to age, gender and social class, offering recommendations for strategic policy improvements that can be implemented by practitioners working on the frontline of community sport. This book offers valuable insights for those interested in sports development, youth sport, community sport, or sport and social policy, providing a fresh perspective on how to transform public policy and practice in these areas.
