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
