Elite Sport and Sport-for-All

- Bridging the Two Cultures?

About Elite Sport and Sport-for-All

Sport is often perceived as being divided into two separate domains: mass participation and elite. In many countries, policy and funding in these domains are managed by separate agencies, and investment is often seen as a choice between one or the other. This book explores the points of connection and sources of tension between elite and mass participation sport, drawing on international research to examine key contemporary issues, such as whether effective talent identification requires depth of participation, or whether elite performances inspire greater participation. This is important reading for all students, researchers, policy makers or administrators working in sport development.
