Description

This book presents a state-of-the-art overview of the science underpinning talent identification and development in the world’s most popular sport.

It covers a broad range of topics that span the various sub-disciplines of sports science with contributions from some of the foremost scientists and applied practitioners globally.

The chapters provide readers with a comprehensive insight into how sport science is helping practitioners to create more evidence-based approaches when attempting to identify and develop future generations of elite players rather than relying on tradition and precedence.

This book dispels some of the myths involved in talent identification and highlights how science is playing an ever-increasing role in guiding and shaping the practices used at the most renowned professional clubs across the globe.

It is a must-read for anyone involved in the game at any level including sports scientists, medical staff, coaches, and administrators.
