"There is a need for a text which (a) brings together the diverse games-based approaches for pre-service physical education teachers, and (b) provides detailed guidance on the nuanced application of a games-based approach within physical education. This text does both."Dr Phil Kearney, Department of Physical Education & Sport Sciences, University of Limerick, Ireland"This book offers comprehensive and up-to-date information about Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) and other Game-Based Approaches (GBAs) around the world. BOTH physical education teachers and sport coaches can gain a lot of practical information to improve their teaching/coaching and maximize students/players potential in an inclusive and learner-centred environment."
