A Constraints-Led Approach to Baseball Coaching, Paperback / softback Book

A Constraints-Led Approach to Baseball Coaching Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Studies in Constraints-Based Methodologies in Sport series

Paperback / softback

Description

A Constraints-Led Approach to Baseball Coaching presents a new approach to baseball coaching and practice.

Applying a CLA to the player development process across the skill spectrum from the beginners to elite, this book uses practical examples to demonstrate the theoretical principles of the constraints-led coaching style embedded in research showing the numerous benefits of the approach. This book incorporates case studies and examples of how constraints are manipulated to develop more adaptable players that can perform at a higher level with a reduced risk of injury, shifting the reader’s view of skill acquisition from the concept of the one “correct” solution, acquired through repetition, to the ecological dynamics framework focused on variability, adaptability, and self-organization.

Individual chapters cover major topics such as hitting, pitching, and fielding for players from Little League to the pros.

This book illustrates the underlying principles so that coaches can develop their own practice activities. A Constraints-Led Approach to Baseball Coaching is a key reading for undergraduate students and practicing sports coaches, physical education teachers and sport scientists alike as well as practicing players and coaches in baseball and related sports.
