A Constraints-Led Approach to Swim Coaching Paperback / softback
by Andrew Sheaff
Part of the Routledge Studies in Constraints-Based Methodologies in Sport series
Paperback / softback
Description
Motor skill acquisition and athlete development practices are rapidly evolving.
Positioned at the forefront of this evolution, the constraints-led approach encourages practitioners to consider the athlete as a whole person, with unique traits, abilities, and capacities.
Accordingly, an athlete’s competitive success lies in the practitioner’s ability to adapt their programming to the unique needs of each athlete and to develop an understanding of the athlete-environment relationship.
A Constraints-Led Approach to Swim Coaching applies contemporary motor skill acquisition and athlete development practices to swimming.
This book encourages coaches to reconsider how they approach skill development in a sport that requires considerable physical training and highly efficient movement.
It presents a framework for identifying the various constraints that determine the ability to perform at a high level.
It then offers coaches practical examples to navigate the manipulation of constraints to support the development of physical capacities and the ability to effectively utilize those capacities through efficient movement.
These frameworks are broadly inclusive to the global sports programming market.
This book is written through a “conversive” voice and is accessible to a broad audience interested in athlete development and programming such as coaches, sport scientists, support staff, athletes, and parents.
At the same time, academics and students in the areas of sport coaching, biomechanics, motor skill acquisition, strength and conditioning, and related disciplines will find interest in the insights provided from this underrepresented niche in sports.
