The idea for this book stems from our efforts to prepare engaging and challenging teaching materials for sports coaching education in higher education (HE) contexts. We both have a long-standing interest in educating coaches, who become empowered through competences such as critical reflection, creative thinking, learning on the edge and adaptability. In considering how such competences can be instilled, we have over the years separately and collaboratively explored alternative pedagogical means and engaged in developing coach education programmes, university courses and curricular content. In 2013, we got to know Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), UNESCO’s educational framework to tackle global challenges such as climate change, inequality and loss of biodiversity. This approach turned our focus more purposefully on developing quality-of-mind competences (e.g., [self-]reflection, critical thinking and the consideration of multiple knowledges to understand self and others). Since then, our interest in alternative pedagogies in sports coaching education in HE has included efforts to make such curricular materials available to others.
