[Colin Cerniglia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is very informative but written in an academic nature -- not everyone's style. But if you want the facts and you want a framework for elite student-athlete development, this is a great place to start your education!

Very beneficial to life skills programming and strong research-base.
