Retired Performers’ Reflections for Movement Practice

About this book

Retired Performers' Reflections for Movement Practice explores how former expert performers from the realms of sport, dance, and movement practice relate to and subsequently teach, coach, or instruct their disciplines. This edited collection is the first of its kind to bring together sociologically informed accounts from former expert performers regarding the influence of their ongoing reflections on how they now choose to navigate performance spaces.

The chapters examine the legacy of each author's involvement in their movement performance space, but they specifically do so with a focus on how their post-performance experiences and reflections have reoriented how they approach their coaching practice, instruction, pedagogy, and community engagement.

This book is key reading for graduate and postgraduate students as well as academics and researchers interested in performance retirement experiences, sports coaching, dance, movement, sport sociology, and well-being.
