Benjamin Zander: Sport from the Perspective of Peer Groups. Exploring Collectively Shared Knowledge in School and Leisure During Early Adolescence

Abstract

How do peer groups impact sporting practices during the sensitive transition from childhood to adolescence (ages 12–14)? Based on a DFG-funded longitudinal study, this book reveals how peer groups influence adolescents‘ participation in sport in both school and leisure settings. The author identifies five key collective orientations and discusses their implications for sports pedagogy and practice.
