In doing so, it illustrates one alternative way that the\u00a0Japanese are currently approaching sports, something that has up until now generally\u00a0been ignored or overlooked by many scholars. It draws on the latest research\u00a0in Japanese and English as well as long-term observational fieldwork to explain\u00a0the roots of sports science, its introduction to Japan as well as how it is being\u00a0used in Japanese basketball today. It interprets various voices to show why scientific\u00a0approaches are having trouble displacing so-called \u2018traditionally Japanese\u2019\u00a0coaching pedagogies. Although many well-known Japanese coaches, professors\u00a0and national sports organizations support them, scientific pedagogies of sports\u00a0coaching currently face various difficulties making inroads in Japan because they\u00a0are \u2018too new\u2019, \u2018too confusing\u2019, \u2018too difficult to understand\u2019, \u2018not authoritarian\u00a0enough\u2019 or \u2018too Western\u2019, and therefore not seen as suitable to the \u2018traditional\u2019\u00a0Japanese sporting landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/09555803.2011.597054\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/09555803.2011.597054<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article introduces readers to a new pedagogy of Japanese sports\u00a0coaching, which is based on science rather than Bushido, rational thought rather\u00a0than samurai wisdom.
