Reseñas

"This book is eminently suitable for those studying 'coaching' at undergraduate level. The logical format with good clear up-to-date referencing at the end of every section makes it an ideal reference book, and it should be provided by sport and physical education departments within colleges and universities."Physiotherapy/Frontline, January 2001
