Routledge Elite Sport and Sport-for-All - ICSSPE Perspectives

Explore the complex relationship between mass participation and elite sports in this comprehensive volume from Routledge. Many nations manage policy and funding for these two domains through separate agencies, often viewing investment as a choice between one or the other. This book examines the points of connection and the tension that exists between these two distinct areas of sport. Through a multi-disciplinary and international approach, this work brings together a diverse line-up of contributors to define and examine this problematic relationship. By drawing on research and case studies from around the world, the text seeks to develop practical solutions for policy makers and researchers. This is an essential resource for understanding how elite performance and broad community engagement can better function together within global sports structures.
