Health, well-Being and the ‘logic’ of elite youth sports work
No full textThis chapter examines: (i) the norms and values of what Hughes and Coakley (1991) refer to as the ‘sport ethic’ which frequently constrains athletes to engage in often health-compromising behaviours; (ii) the cultures of risk in which young athletes are bound up and which frequently compromise their health and well-being, including through the normalization and acceptance of pain, injury and ‘playing hurt’; and (iii) the key structural features of the workplace which must be understood if we are to develop a more adequate understanding of the realities of young elite sports workers’ lives

Youth, Sport and Leisure Careers
Full text linkThe focus of this chapter is young people’s participation in sport and leisure and their careers in these domains. More particularly, we will examine the some of the benefits, and some of the challenges, of studying young people’s lives biographically and longitudinally and how such an approach has a number of advantages for researchers interested in making sense of youth, sport and leisure careers. In doing so, we shall argue that because ‘there has long been a tendency to study (interrelated) aspects of people’s lives – and, for that matter, people themselves in isolation’ (Green, 2014a: 160), a vital pre-requisite of any analysis of young people’s lives involves locating these within the complex interdependencies to which they belonged in the past, and continue to form in the present. While such an approach might seem axiomatic to sociologists of sport and leisure, ‘most of the literature on young people and physical activity ignores the complexity and diversity of young people’s lives’ (Wright and MacDonald, 2010: 1). In other words, many studies fail frequently to take into account how young people’s choices and participation in activities such as sport and leisure ‘are made in the context of their personal biographies and the political, economic, cultural and geographical contexts of their everyday lives’ (Wright and MacDonald, 2010: 2). In this chapter, we shall argue that two dimensions of youth biographies – habitus formation and capital development – are among the key processes which need to be better understood if we are to make more adequate sociological sense of the reality of young people’ sporting and leisure lives, and the contexts in which those lives are enacted
