- This book is the culmination of fifteen years of research into the history of coaching and extends the time period covered by Day’s Professionals, Amateurs and Performance (Peter Lang, 2012) into the second half of the twentieth century. The extensive range of archival material, drawn from National Governing Bodies, the British Olympic Association, and the Ministry of Education, is supplemented by oral testimonials from elite coaches operating at National and Olympic level since 1945. A critical element of the text is way in which it demonstrates the continuing impact of the cultural heritage of amateurism on contemporary coaching practice.
