Combines a conceptual model of motor performance with a principles-to-application learning approach, making comprehension of the principles of motor performance and learning accessible even for students with little or no knowledge of physiology, psychology, statistical methods, and other basic sciences.
Beautiful in its pedagogy. As theory, it extracts all the relevant studies in the field. It is well-organized with headings, subheadings, fonts to aid the reader in appreciating experimental design and complications. As practice, it gives many governing principles for the coach/educator to use. The vignettes and learning objectives clearly laid out is a serious help.
Highly recommended for a primer on designing technical sessions for sportspeople.
I read the sixth edition for my motor learning class! I enjoyed gaining some knowledge on the complexity of motor skills. It’s a very well structured book.
