  For the last 25 years, a constraints-based framework has helped to inform the way that many sport scientists seek to understand performance, learning design and the development of expertise and talent in sport. A Constraints-Based Methodology for Sport provides students and practitioners with the theoretical knowledge required to implement constraints-led approaches in their work.

  Seeking to bridge the divide between theory and practice, the book sets out an `environment design framework', including practical tools and guidance for the application of the framework in coaching and skill acquisition settings. It includes chapters on constraints-led approaches in coaching children, golf, athletics and hockey, and provides applied reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of motor learning, skill acquisition and developing sport expertise.

  Providing a thorough grounding in the theory behind constraints-led approaches to skill acquisition, and a foundational cornerstone in the Routledge Studies in Constraints-Based Methodologies in Sport series, this is a vital pedagogical resource for students and practicing sports coaches, physical education teachers and sport scientists, alike.
