A team and a coach are a unit. One does not function well without the other. A happy, united and sincere approach to learning the game is essential, and a good coach can nurture this. A coach is also responsible for motivating a team and ensuring it goes to play with the right attitude.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way. -

Competitive School Sport Summary Report
National Governing Bodies of Sport Survey Competitive School Sport Summary Report June 2014 Prepared by the TOP Foundation for Ofsted SportPark, Loughborough University, 3 Oakwood Drive, Loughborough, LE11 3QF NGB Competitive School Sport Investigation Summary Report Executive Summary In the spring of 2014 an investigation commissioned by Ofsted explored the school backgrounds, ethnicity and socioeconomic status of some of our best adult and age group international sport teams. The same investigation asked 29 National Governing Bodies of sport (NGBs) to report on their competitive school sport provision in 39 different sports; 26 (90%) NGBs agreed to take part and they reported on 35 sports. This NGBs report is part of a wider investigation being undertaken by Ofsted into competitive school sport for Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills (HMCI), Sir Michael Wilshaw, which includes a supporting report with input from headteachers. This investigation collated 6 different sets of data on the known school backgrounds of: i. Current international representatives from 14 sports (n=224) ii. London 2012 Olympic Team (n=279) iii. London 2012 Paralympic Team (n=106) iv. Players competing in national leagues in 5 sports (n=543) v. UK Sport’s Athlete Insights Survey: Olympic sports (n=606) vi. UK Sport’s Athlete Insights Survey: Paralympic sports (n=247). Analysis showed similar trends across the different data sets. The 2 Paralympic data sets provided a mean of 81% for athletes attending state schools only, 13% for independent schools only and 3% for both types of school. The 2 Olympic data sets provided a mean of 66% for athletes attending state schools only, 22% for independent schools only and 6% for both types of school. -
