-- This text is very appropriate for any management course taught in athletic training curriculums...There is no one text currently available that meets all the competencies and content areas needed for organization and administration or professional development. This text has the opportunity to be the first to accomplish this goal. -- The primary strengths of the text continue to be the relationship with the RDS and the potential for directly preparing students for the BOC exam based upon the educational competencies presented and covered within the book. -- The author has done a nice job of paring the information into a digestible unit.
