THE LEISURE IN THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS IN FOOTBALL SCHOLARS IN THE CITY OF BELO HORIZONTE

Abstract

The objective was to understand if the professionals who work in sports schools believe that they work with leisure, how they report that work happens, what knowledge about leisure use and how they see the importance of leisure in their professional practice. For this, we developed a qualitative work, whose accomplishment occurred through a combination of bibliographical and field research. In the field research, we conducted semi-structured interviews with four professionals who work in three different soccer schools. As results, we emphasize that all professionals reported having leisure present in their work and that the importance they give to leisure seems to be influenced by the nature of the environment in which they work.
