Skill Acquisition in Sport

The science of expertise and skill acquisition in sports is a quite specific area of research within the more general field of motor skills acquisition. With a strong international focus from respected authorities in Europe, North America and Australia this is the first fully comprehensive and focussed work on the subject, providing the definitive collection of current research in this expanding area of study. The book integrates research and theory with implications for real world instruction and practice. As such it is of will appeal to both sports scientists and practitioners.
