One Coach's Journey from East to West
Until the fall of the Soviet Union the West and the Communists were engaged not only in a heated arms race but a race for Olympic gold. Moscow poured tremendous resources into the effort, attracting some of the country's greatest minds. Vladimir Zaglada provides a look inside some Soviet Union gymnastics "think tanks," like Moscow's Lenin Institute. One Coach's Journey from East to West also introduces some of the brilliant and colourful figures of gymnastics and examines how the flood of coaching talent into the West has shifted the balance of power and has been somewhat impeded by cultural and language barriers.

Women's Artistic Gymnastics
This book lifts the lid on the high pressured, complex world of women’s artistic gymnastics. By adopting a socio-cultural lens incorporating historical, sociological and psychological perspectives, it takes the reader through the story and workings of women’s artistic gymnastics. Beginning with its early history as a ‘feminine appropriate’ sport, the book follows the sport through its transition to a modern sports form. Including global cases and innovative narrative methods, it explores the way gymnasts have experienced its intense challenges, the complexities of the coach-athlete relationship, and how others involved in the sport, such as parents and medical personnel, have contributed to the reproduction of a highly demanding and potentially abusive sporting culture. With the focus on a unique women’s sport, the book is an important read for researchers and students studying sport sociology, sport coaching, and physical education, but it is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the development of sporting talent.
