An introduction to athletic development which orientates a holistic, psychological perspective of the athletic development process.
Social influences on athletic development, which explores the impact of varied social influences (e.g., coach, family, peers, school) on sports participation and performance from a psychological perspective.
Athlete wellbeing, which explores various aspects influencing mental health and welfare as an athlete progresses through their sports career.
The book combines key theory with illustrative case studies, to analyse the complexities of athletic development. It takes a critical perspective highlighting some of the debates and controversies in these areas and uses spotlight boxes in each chapter to focus on questions or topics of particular interest.
