Description

Sexual exploitation in sport is a problem that has beset both male and female athletes privately for decades but which has only recently emerged as a public issue.

Spoilsports is the first comprehensive review of this issue, integrating pioneering academic research, theoretical perspectives, and practical guidelines for performers, coaches, administrators and policy-makers. Key topics include:* 'moral panic'* children's rights* masculinity and power* making and implementing policy* leadership in sport. Spoilsports draws extensively on the personal experiences of athletes and those involved in sport.

Challenging and controversial, this book represents an important step towards tackling a difficult issue.

It is essential reading for coaches, athletes, parents, policy-makers and all those with a personal or professional interest in sport.
