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.
