Beyond this primary focus, the book offers insight into how sport operates as a cultural and material force that reflects-and reproduces-deeply embedded social values. In capturing the contradictions of a sport steeped in tradition yet shaped by contemporary pressures, this book bridges empirical research and critical theory, inviting readers to rethink how we structure, value, and understand youth sport in an increasingly stratified and performance-driven world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRyan King-White\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Kinesiology at Towson University, USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthew Hawzen\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Sport Management at Fairleigh Dickinson University, USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarty Clark\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Health and Physical Education at Mount Royal University, CAN.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666958485\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53976190124172,"sku":"9781666958485","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_c54d770a-9f46-4f99-93b4-ba4b7f36b595.jpg?v=1787715099","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666958485","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
