A chapter on staying healthy is also included.Part 3 offers information on the serious issues of drugs and doping as well as important information about training and competing abroad. Part 4 helps you put it all together and shows you how to measure and monitor your performance for evaluation and improvement.For whatever sport you choose, this is the book you need to perform your very best! |
