Abstract
Sports can provide a huge contribution to human development and therefore be an important tool to society. Sports coaching is growing around the world spreading largely its field of action and intervention. The coaching professionalization is an important issue and this book attempts to contribute to our understanding of coaching and address this gap in the literature by organizing the chapters into three sections: (1) becoming a sports coach, (2) acting as a sport coach, and (3) challenges of sports coaching. The intention is to analyze how a coach develops as a professional; how a coach behaves in different contexts, and what are the challenges a coach is facing currently and in the future.
