"Although sport participation decreases on average for women once they become mothers, female athletes have demonstrated that motherhood does not signal the end of sport engagement and athletic identities, or career and leadership roles. This is the first book to offer an in-depth examination of the nexus of women, sport and culture within the context of motherhood, uncovering new narratives that raise the profile of non-conformist performances. This book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the socio-cultural study of sport, gender and sport, women's studies, sport coaching, sport leadership, sport development, or qualitative and digital research methods"--

"This is the first book to examine trauma research in the context of sport, exercise and health. It outlines evidence-based trauma-informed research practices which qualitative researchers can use when conducting trauma research, to prevent causing further harm to participants while maintaining a strengths-based approach. Featuring the trauma research of leading qualitative sport, exercise and health researchers from around the world, each chapter showcases the contributors' trauma research and participant context, followed by the 'what, why, and how' of trauma-informed research practices that were implemented. The book includes work from a wide range of contexts, including gender-based violence in sport and coaching, abuse in sport, the aftermath of abuse and violence, physical activity after spinal cord injury, trauma and limb amputation, trauma and homelessness, trauma and autistic adults, and sport for care-experienced youth. It provides researchers interested in working with populations affected by trauma with a qualitative research resource to build on, and highlights new directions in conducting trauma-informed research. This is important reading for any researcher with an interest in trauma not only in sport, exercise, and health research but qualitative research contexts more broadly. It is a valuable resource for anyone working in athlete welfare, sport and exercise psychology, youth sport, sport development, physical activity and health, disability, gender, safeguarding or social work"--
