Editorial Review
This is a reference work for those seeking to base school sports practice on solid pedagogical principles. Its focus, centered on educational initiation rather than performance, makes it a valuable resource for teachers who wish to align their work with the formative objectives of the curriculum. The diversity of voices and the inclusion of local analyses provide a rich and applied perspective, although its content, coming from a 1996 course, may require contextualization by the current reader.
