Teaching and Learning in Sport Management: Pedagogy in Practice explores the current state of play in sport management education, focusing on the pedagogical methods and best practices that shape student learning and professional preparation. The book examines the historical development of sport management education, general teaching practices, and innovative active learning approaches that enhance student engagement. Engaged learning is a central focus, including discussion of community-engaged models, industry partnerships, and work-integrated learning opportunities that go beyond traditional internships. The book covers core topics including accreditation, assessment methods, the use of technology in teaching, and the application of pedagogical theories to sport management education, as well as innovative teaching practices such as design thinking, peer mentoring, interdisciplinary projects, and on-campus employment as valuable tools for enhancing student experiences. It also discusses the transition from industry roles to academia, offering insights into career shifts within higher education. Presenting a forward-looking guide to the evolving landscape of teaching and learning in this dynamic field, this book is essential reading for any current instructor in sport management; for doctoral students about to embark on a teaching career in sport management; and for practitioners in the sport industry looking to build stronger partnerships with higher education.
The path to elite performance in a racket sport is much like the path through a minefield to safety. There are no warning signs, but there are invisible hazards that lie in wait. There are no reliable maps-largely because the path itself varies for different people. Things one learns along the way may accelerate progress for a while, only to lead to a developmental dead-end in the long run. This book provides knowledge and strategies that will enable coaches and parents to preempt many developmental problems that are commonly encountered along the developmental path, and to greatly enhance the happiness and prospects of the children in their care.The content of this book isn't complex, but provides very valuable information for parents, players and coaches. Great for tennis, table tennis, squash, and racket ball. The approach advocated encourages and challenges learners to explore, to experience, and to master the techniques and principles that make them effective.

Mike the Tiger-the only live tiger mascot in the United States-is an iconic presence on LSU's campus. From his tiger sanctuary next to Tiger Stadium, he draws a steady stream of fans, adults and children alike. In this new book about LSU's favorite tiger, Mike's former veterinarian David G. Baker reflects on his decades of caring for three of the live mascots, beginning with Mike V in 1996. Baker gives fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpses of the tigers as he recounts episodes such as Mike VI's cancer diagnosis, treatment, and death, and the search for Mike VII. He gives details about the tiger's daily care and routine, provides answers to commonly asked questions about the mascot program, and discusses Mike's popular social media presence. He also delves into new traditions, such as the creation of "meat art" for Mike to devour before home football games and the overnight holding of graduation rings in the night house with Mike. In addition to Baker's own text, Mike: The Tigers of LSU includes remembrances from many of the tiger's veterinary student caretakers over the years, who reveal how caring for Mike the Tiger impacted their lives. Loaded with more than one hundred new and historical photos, Mike is sure to please the most avid fans of LSU's mascot.
One of Canada’s most dynamic prime ministers, Lester B. Pearson lived a life which took him from a childhood in rural Ontario to the apex of international politics. The first volume of his memoirs follows him from his youth as the son of a Methodist preacher to his decision to enter politics in 1948. In this volume of Mike, Pearson recalls his university years at the University of Toronto and St. John’s College, Oxford, his military service in the First World War, and his return to the University of Toronto in 1923 to teach history and, in his spare time, coach football and hockey. In 1928, Pearson joined the Department of External Affairs, rapidly rising through the ranks to become ambassador to the United States by 1945. Mike captures Pearson’s intellect, his sense of humour, and his humanity, offering a charming look at the youth of a great statesman. This new edition features a foreword by Pearson cabinet minister and former prime minister Jean Chrétien.
