Developing Sport Expertise by Damian Farrow
In this new edition of the leading student and researcher overview of the development of sports expertise, a team of world-class sport scientists and professional coaches examine the fundamental science of skill acquisition and explore the methods by which science can be applied in the real-world context of sport performance.‘…Tying these real life experiences and coaching practices to theoretical framings and research of sport expertise is perhaps one of the biggest strengths of the book in terms of bridging the gap between theory and practice, between scientist and coach, within the multifaceted field of sport expertise…
…this is a book worth taking your time to readIt presents both interesting and relevant theoretical frameworks and current research, as well as connecting these to the practical world of coaches in sport.’
