Developing the Athlete

A Little Underwhelming

The content feels a little scattered and lacking a clear framework throughout. It obviously touches on many of the basic concepts of athlete development and sports science, but I was surprised by how many of the statements lacked a reference or were just referencing the authors' own publications. After reading through it, I am glad I have it on my shelf as a reference text, but I think there are much better options for comprehensive exploration of holistic athlete performance.
