Social Learning in Sport illuminates the work of social learning leadership through narratives that illustrate how the theoretical concepts of social learning can deepen our appreciation of effective support for 21st century sport professionals who care to make a difference in sport coaching development. Wenger-Trayner’s social learning theory has evolved substantially in the last decade, moving beyond the consideration of communities of practice to examining landscapes of practice and social learning spaces. This evolution provides a valuable resource for social learning leaders to support practitioners operating in global contexts of increasing ambiguity, uncertainty, and volatility.This new text examines the wide range of roles involved in social learning leadership and illustrates the practices and people who are working ‘behind the curtains’, often invisible to others. The book is divided into four sections. The introductory section provides social learning leaders with a brief overview of recent developments in the theory, including the value creation framework, and its use in sport. In sections two and three, the reader learns through engaging with the stories of practitioners from around the world who are inspired by a social learning approach with a principal focus on coach development. The concluding section includes examples of challenges drawn from practice and provides social learning leaders with recommendations for future directions. Social Learning in Sport is invaluable for all social learning leaders, including sport coaches, administrators, coach developers, and academics.
