Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, the book offers in-depth discussion of methodological and philosophical issues as well as of the characteristics that describe sporting 'experts' and how they can be developed. Exploring research, theory and practice, the book examines how scientists and practitioners can work together to improve the delivery of applied sport science. With contributions from many of the world's leading researchers in expertise and skill acquisition in sport, this is important reading for any advanced student, researcher or coach.
