Description
They demonstrate the importance of applying basic sports science principles to the training process, enhancing performance whilst avoiding
common problems. Not only will this book be of interest to practising coaches, but it is also essential reading for those studying sport
and exercise science, coaching or coaching science at all levels. The athlete, and those who contribute to the coaching process (sport
scientists, team managers, doctors and physiotherapists), will also benefit from reading how the coaching process is best applied to
enhance performance and avoid complications of overtraining, injury and burn-out.
