The Constraints-Led Approach: Principles for Sports Coaching and Practice Design

by Ian Renshaw, Keith Davids, Daniel Newcombe

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. The Constraints-Led Principles for Sports Coaching and Practice Design 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 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 practising sports coaches, physical education teachers and sport scientists alike.

Great new way of framing skill acquisition.
There's nothing really new under the sun.
Just old cards translated from Russian and shuffled into a new deck.
I do like the new deck though.

Ya había leído algunas introducciones a este método y había empezado a aplicarlas en mis clases con lo que había entendido. Este libro me ayudó mucho a saber que cosas tenía bien, que otras mal y porque, y que otras mejorar. El tiempo me dará resultados y podré ver como se desarrollan mis alumnos. Muy recomendado

A slow start, but ends with good practical sessions that you can use with team or individual athletes.
