Abstract:

While the topic of relationships in professional sports teams is gaining
greater attention from researchers and practitioners, the role that coach and
athlete language plays in shaping these relationships remains largely
unexplored. This book addresses this gap by examining how every day, authentic
language patterns used by coaches, captains and players shape relationships in
a professional New Zealand rugby team. More specifically, through a discourse
analysis of taken-for-granted ritual language practices in training sessions,
team meetings and match-day interactions, the chapters of this book illustrate
how coaches, captains and players shape particular interpersonal dynamics of
power and solidarity between themselves in and through language and, in the
process, reflect and reconstruct shared and underlying ideologies about how
relationships of power and solidarity work in their team.

Offering an evidence-based discussion of the silent and pervasive ideologies
that underpin how relationships work in professional sports teams, this book
extends research on this important topic by providing largely missing
illustrations of consequential interpersonal dynamics that actively shape
professional relationships in sports teams. Written in an approachable style,
this book offers linguists, social scientists and sports practitioners a frame
of reference for greater understanding of how language directly shapes
relationships of power and solidarity.
