Full Description
Retired Performers' Reflections for Movement Practice explores how former expert performers from the realms of sport, dance, and movement practice relate to and subsequently teach/coach/instruct their disciplines. This edited collection is the first of its kind to bring together sociologically informed accounts from former expert performers regarding how their ongoing reflections influence how they now choose to navigate performance spaces.
The chapters examine the legacy of each authors' involvement in their movement performance space, but specifically do so with a focus upon how their post-performance experiences and reflections have influenced a re-orientation to how they approach their coaching practice/instruction/pedagogy/community engagement and approach.
This book is key reading for graduate and postgraduate students, as well as academics and researchers interested in performance retirement experiences, sports coaching, dance, movement, sport sociology, and well-being.
