Feature Article
Tryghed og konkurrence: kan modsætninger mødes? [Safety and competition: can opposites meet?]
How can you find safety in making mistakes? The two sports psychologists Morten Bertelsen, F.C. Copenhagen, and Camilla Goul, Viborg FF, have worked in their clubs to create psychological safety for the players. Amy Edmondson has developed the modern research in psychological safety, where the phenomenon is closely related to learning, adaptation to change and improved performance. In this article, the authors tell how and with what results they applied Edmonton’s ideas in their respective clubs. (Published in Danish 230904.
Book Reviews
How We Can Save Sports: A Game Plan, with a New Introduction, by Ken Reed
Many sports fans are conflicted—they may love the games, but they are often alarmed by problems in sports such as corruption and health issues. In How We Can Save Sports: A Game Plan, with a New Introduction (Rowman & Littlefield), Ken Reed argues that much of our sports culture is broken, driven by ego and greed. Malcolm MacLean finds much of interest to think about, but laments the fact that the book, originally published 2015, has not been updated with some important developments, and thus loses some of its relevance.

Teaching Physical Education: Contemporary Issues for Teachers, Educators and Students, by Gary Stidder
Gary Stidder’s new book, Teaching Physical Education: Contemporary Issues for Teachers, Educators and Students (Routledge) assesses the landscape of physical education today and the issues that shape it as a curriculum subject, particularly in the era of COVID-19. In his review, Håkan Larsson commends the author’s jigsaw puzzle metaphor. The interrelationship between the pieces is well if not fully developed; however, our reviewer would have liked to see further analyses of the puzzle as a whole.
