Children and Youth in Sport: A Biopsychosocial PerspectiveChildren and Yourth in Sport offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary view of issues of concern to youth sport educators, researchers, and program administrators. This text effectively bridges the gap between research and application by including helpful guidelines for use in administration of youth sport programs and in coaching or teaching young athletes. The book's content and style is sufficiently challenging to serve as a text for upper level undergraduate or graduate youth sport courses; yet it is clear and interesting so nonprofessional audiences will also find it informative and enjoyable.
