Sports Coaching Review is an international peer-reviewed medium for the publication of articles related to sports coaching. It aspires to be a major focal point for the publication of sports coaching research throughout the world. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: Coach-athlete relationships and weight controlling behaviour in young athletes: perspectives from Norwegian athletes and coaches in sport climbing by Martine Limstrand, Anne Tjønndal & Frida Austmo Wågan.

With sport sustaining a prominent place in international development policymaking, discourse and delivery, the collected volume Handbook of Sport and International Development (Edward Elgar) investigates the role that different sport initiatives – from community-focused projects to large-scale events – can play across a great variety of development contexts. Our reviewers Derrick Charway and Umair Asif are appreciative of the comprehensive approach and they find the critical stance vital to combat the narratives about the “inherent purity and goodness of sport” (Coakley).

The Journal of Applied Sport Psychology is a refereed journal designed to advance thought, theory, and research on applied aspects of sport and exercise psychology. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: An in-depth exploration of a positional subgroup in professional sport by Marc Glaude, Gordon A. Bloom & Luc J. Martin.

Arguably, trans people are subject to discrimination, or worse. Whether or not they are also, as trans athletes, discriminated in sports is a moot point. In a new edited collection, Justice for Trans Athletes: Challenges and Struggles by Ali Durham Greey & Helen Jefferson Lenskyj (Emerald), the contributors argue for full inclusion of transwomen athletes in the female category of competitive sports. Our reviewer, legal and political philosopher Miroslav Imbrišević is a well-known exponent of the opposite view.
