Elite sport coaching and integrity : the fine line between excellence and abuse / Kim Yoon Jin
Edited by Korea National Sport University - 2021
Coaching elite athletes at the Olympic level inescapably includes intensive training regimes that often risk falling into abusive practices. This project examines the fragile and vulnerable task of elite sports coaching – walking the fine line between excellence and abuse. In order to spotlight the contentious space where coaches’
endeavours to push to the limit collide with the ethics of safeguarding athletes, this research focuses on elite coaches migrating to cultures with different social/sporting norms from their own. Migrant South Korean coaches serve as the main cases given
their experiences in the previous authoritative training regime in South Korea and current challenges they face overseas.
