Mentoring in Physical Education and Sports Coaching

Mentoring is a core element of any successful teacher education or coach education programme, with evidence suggesting that teachers and coaches who are mentored early in their careers are more likely to become effective practitioners. This is the first book to introduce key theory and best practice in mentoring for mentors and mentees, focusing on the particular challenges and opportunities in physical education and sports coaching. Written by a team of international experts with practical experience of mentoring in PE and coaching, the book clearly explains what mentoring is and how it should work, illustrated with real mentoring stories, practical guidance and definitions of key terms.
