Very useful book, a good overview of various methodologies and research design.
Very comprehensive with coverage of major qualitative methods to facilitate deeper lines of enquiry
This book is excellent in places. Recommended to students who embark on some of the lesser used methods in flexible design approaches to undergraduate research in sport studies.
This is a welcome addition to the research methods literature in that if offers a sporting perspective to qualitative methods. From my experience, sports students struggle to appreciate the nuances involved in qualitative research and this text provides a useful guide for undergraduates.

A great book to social worker that research sport as a social inclusion field.
