Description
The book is proposed by globally recognised subject leaders in the field. There is a strong collection of contributors across the various chapters.
The book covers several key themes that are pertinent to youth rugby including a chapter on tackling which is topical in youth sports and the young female athlete will address the current bias towards male-focused research
