Nordic Elite Sports

Beskrivelse

This book explores the organization and leadership of elite sports in the Nordic countries, an area with very limited existing research. It brings together insights from 14 researchers across the four Nordic nations, aiming to fill this knowledge gap and encourage further study.

Collaborative research shedding light on Nordic elite sports management and leadership.

Initiated in 2009, this project received valuable support from the Centre for Training and Performance (CTP) at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. The book features contributions from 14 researchers representing all four Nordic countries, blending individual studies with a collective effort.

More than just a scientific anthology, the contributors engaged in two extensive workshops to discuss early drafts and work towards a unified format for presenting their case studies. The editors also conducted independent research across all four countries to strengthen the comparative perspective and highlight common themes.

The editorial process was a true partnership, with both editors equally contributing to the introductory and final comparative chapters. Feedback from colleagues and key figures within sport organizations further enriched the work.

While primarily a research contribution, this book is also intended to be a useful resource for students and practitioners involved in the field of elite sports.
