Social Learning in Sport by Diane M Culver

Socialfobi, praestationsangst, panikangst, dodsangst og sygdomsangst har fyldt mest. Angsten for at leve. Dette er min personlige historie om at vaere styret af angst sa laenge jeg kan huske tilbage og svaer invaliderende angst i tre ar - og om endelig at blive fri af angsten uden brug af medicin, men med stotte fra kaerlige omgivelser, kognitiv terapi, en coach, svomning og yoga. Laes den som inspiration til en vej ud af angsten eller for at forsta en, du kender med angst, bedre. Pas godt pa dig, du er det vaerd. Kaerlighed.

“Social Learning in Sport arrives at exactly the right moment for our field, as a growing number of coaches, developers, and organisations are adopting social learning approaches to enhance practiceThe authors revisit foundational ideas and thoughtfully expand on them to address the realities of contemporary practice, where collaboration, identity, and context intersect in increasingly complex ways. This is an important and timely contribution to the global conversation on learning, leadership, and practice in sport”.

Professor Christine Nash, PhD, Co-Chair, ICCE Research Committee, Professor of Sport Coaching, University of Edinburgh, UK

“I highly recommend this book for anyone involved in coach development. It brings together powerful stories of impact, offering a rich collection of social learning experiences that illuminate how coaches grow and influence others. Written with coach developers working “in the field” in mind, it shines a light on the real, day‑to‑day complexity of high‑performance sport and demonstrates how meaningful learning emerges from that messy reality.

The book underscores the vital role coach educators and developers play in creating environments where people can share wisdom, embrace diversity, and navigate uncertainty—ultimately generating lasting value for coaches, athletes, and all those working within the high‑performance landscape. In a time when helping coaches discover their voice and agency is more important than ever, this book provides both inspiration and practical insight”.
