    This is the loose-leaf version of Developing the Athlete, which offers students a less expensive, printed version of the text. Over the past decade, the complexity of athlete development has increased, and sport science has become enthralled with metrics and genetics. While an abundance of information has emerged, there is still a lack of practical guidance on how to integrate this information with training to help athletes achieve their potential. Developing the Athlete: An Applied Sport Science Roadmap for Optimizing Performance brings much-needed clarity, providing a proven blueprint for bringing together the many fields related to sport science via an athlete development team that navigates the day-to-day development of each athlete. Developed by a team of renowned authors--including William Kraemer, one of the most prolifically published sport scientists in history--Developing the Athlete: An Applied Sport Science Roadmap for Optimizing Performance is the first resource of its kind. It explains the integration of sport science through the development of an athlete development team, implementing a process of testing, evaluating, assessing, and monitoring athlete training and performance. You will learn how data generated by the athlete development team are translated into training programs that promote the physical and psychological development an athlete needs to compete and succeed at every level of competition. You will also find step-by-step explanations of how to create a testing "fingerprint" unique to each athlete, as well as case studies and success stories that demonstrate how the concepts in the book have been experienced in real life. Get a better understanding of how the use of sport science can improve the skills needed for long-term athlete development. Developing the Athlete: An Applied Sport Science Roadmap for Optimizing Performance will help all types of sport performance professionals prioritize and apply the three Cs--credentials, competence, and commitment--so you can tap into known scientific principles and practices to develop a path for success for all your athletes. Earn continuing education credits/units! A continuing education exam that uses this book is also available.
