Qualitative Research in Sport Management, 2nd Edition, is an introductory textbook published by Routledge that examines qualitative inquiry within sport management. It addresses the entire research process, from early project planning through to reporting results.

The volume explores the reflective and interrogative thinking needed to formulate effective research questions, discussing ontological and epistemological foundations alongside research design. It also examines diverse approaches to sampling, data collection, and qualitative data analysis.

Every chapter includes real research examples presented as short research briefs and extended case studies. Accompanying online materials include PowerPoint slides and recommended readings.
