International Golf Coaching Framework - International Council For Coaching Excellence - Bog - Human Kinetics Publishers - Plusbog.dk

The I nternational Golf Coaching Framework is intended to further develop the quality of coaching in the sport around the world. The Framework provides a common language and set of principles about coaching that span all borders. To that end, the Framework serves to establish a consensus on the • primary functions of a coach; • roles and responsibilities of a coach in athlete development; • qualifications, knowledge and core competencies needed for coaching effectively; and • methods by which coaches are educated, developed and certified. This book is an adaptation of the I nternational Sport Coaching Framework (Version 1.2) that was created by the International Council for Coaching Excellence, Association of Summer Olympic International Federations and Leeds Beckett University to provide international federations like IGF and sport organisations like PGAWA considerations for designing, benchmarking and refining their coach education and certification programmes. While it retains much of the underlying philosophy of the original coaching framework, the International Golf Coaching Framework has been adapted to provide the national federations, unions and PGAs with the detail required to build their own coaching systems. As a result, golf now has a universal platform from which to develop coaches and, ultimately, enrich the experience of the sport for all.

Governance in Sport - - Bog - Human Kinetics Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Governance in Sport - - Bog - Human Kinetics Publishers - Plusbog.dk

At its core, sport governance encompasses two key elements: power and decision making. To truly grasp a sport organization’s purpose and structure, it’s essential to understand who wields power and which decisions are made by those who possess it. Regrettably, the abuse of power, coupled with ineffective governance and lackluster leadership, has fostered widespread corruption within sport organizations, a situation that calls for a renewed commitment to practicing principles of good governance and restoring integrity and ethical conduct. In response, the updated and enhanced Governance in Sport: Analysis and Application, Second Edition, aims to equip students with the skills to navigate both ordinary and extraordinary situations encountered in the oversight and authority of sport organizations at all levels of sport. Governance in Sport examines sport governance from three broad analytical and applied perspectives: - A legal and managerial overview of practices, processes, and policies in sport organizations, encompassing ethical behavior, effective leadership, decision making, and policy development - A framework of the structures and functions of regulatory agencies that govern state, national, regional, and international sports - An applied overview of governance and authority in selected sectors of the industry, including professional sports, amateur sports, sports media, sports betting, esports, and more Through examinations of contemporary hot-button issues and compelling new case studies-covering the Ukraine invasion; Brittney Griner; transgender athletes in sports; LIV Golf versus the PGA; conference realignment; name, image, and likeness (NIL) issues; the Kanjuruhan Stadium catastrophe; and the workplace misconduct in the Washington Commanders organization-students will see how governance differs in sport organizations at various levels in the United States and around the world. Additional new features include the following: - Headlines begin each chapter, calling out incidents of corruption within the sport industry. - Rules and Regulations Corners provide quick overviews of policies and laws affecting weighty issues. - Combating Corruption sections offer best practices for preventing and minimizing behavior deemed illegal, unethical, or counterintuitive. - Governance in Action case sidebars explore real-world examples of conflicts and conundrums related to the chapter topic and include discussion questions; suggested responses to the questions can be found in the instructor guide. - Recorded lectures by author Bonnie Tiell are available for each chapter of the book. Instructors can use these videos to enhance their lectures. With Governance in Sport , students will develop an understanding of where power resides, how decisions are made, and the impact of those factors on the goals and structures of sport organizations.

Effective Functional Progressions in Sport Rehabilitation - Carl Derosa - Bog - Human Kinetics Publishers - Plusbog.dk

One of the most challenging tasks for a sports medicine clinician is rehabilitating an injured athlete for a successful return to competition. Effective Functional Progressions in Sport Rehabilitation provides clinicians with the strategies and tools they need to prepare their clients for the physical demands required by their sport. This complete reference helps clinicians understand the important concepts of functional progressions and equips them to develop rehabilitation programs specific to the needs of their clients. The authors break down the text into three regional areas—upper extremities, lower extremities, and trunk—before delving into the specific anatomical and biomechanical differences within each area. They also present the neuromuscular basis for the specific approaches to each region and provide exercises in functional progressions that simulate the activity the athlete needs to perform to be effective in his or her sport again. Clinicians will find evidence-based, functional tests and learn how to interpret and use the test results to develop specific rehabilitation programs. In that respect, this book will be particularly useful for designing individualized programs because clinicians can choose the specific exercises that will benefit their clients. Effective Functional Progressions in Sport Rehabilitation also provides -sport-specific progressions for numerous sports, including golf, football, baseball, soccer, and running; -kinetic chain exercises and information on the kinetic chain concept, outlining the transfer of energy between segments during functional activities and sport-specific movement patterns; -photos that illustrate how progressions should be completed and medical art that shows the bones, muscles, and ligaments that are most often affected by injuries; and -a recipe-like structure for functional and clinical progressions that makes it easy to see how a progression should be completed and provides continuity and ease of use across the book. Effective Functional Progressions in Sport Rehabilitation also features an online component that allows users access to every image from the text as well as sample templates in both Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Clinicians can select and paste the images they need into the Word document, type in specific instructions, and print it for their clients to take home as a reference. Instructors can do the same with the presentation package template, using the images and customizing text to accompany each image. The images and sample templates are available at www.HumanKinetics.com/EffectiveFunctionalProgressionsinSportRehabilitation.
