Reflective Practice in the Sport and Exercise Sciences

This is the first book to explicitly focus on reflective practice in sport and exercise. The book presents a range of critical essays, written in an open and dynamic style with some contributing authors telling 'stories' from their own experiences, whereas others will construct arguments through reference to available research evidence base. Includes an impressive and balanced list of editors and contributing authors who are known experts in the field. The book provides a number of ideas, case studies, and instructional techniques for implementing the process, using a broad range of subject areas to make key points and provide applied information, thought provoking ideas, and very honest accounts of a range of practitioners' experiences. Chapters rationalise the importance of reflective practice of continued ongoing professional development, to broaden scopes of practice, and ultimately to provide a better service for their clients/ students.
