Long description:

"

This handbook is an extensive scholarly resource comprising thirty-two chapters written by respected researchers and educators working at the intersection of sport and creativity research. Showcasing a wide range of topics relevant to this emerging interdisciplinary field, the Handbook is organised into three parts:

1. Theoretical Positions: The Nature of Creativity in Sport
2. Contextual Perspectives: The Role of Creativity in Sport
3. Applied Approaches: The Promotion of Creativity in Sport

Across these parts, readers are invited to navigate the varied terrain of creativity research, reconsider their assumptions about the meaning of creativity, and critically engage with the multifaceted possibilities and dilemmas of fostering creativity. Encouraging readers to move with creativity in novel ways, the Handbook provides the conceptual frameworks and applied tools to understand and work with creativity a dynamic, context-sensitive phenomenon central to growth, wellbeing, performance and innovation in sport. As such, the Handbook is a vital resource for researchers, students, and practitioners across the realms of sport – particularly those concerned with psychology, philosophy, pedagogy, coaching, youth development, sport participation, talent development, skill acquisition, and expert performance.
