Administrative Topics in Athletic Training: Concepts to Practice - Hardcover

"A book like this is much needed in the profession and this one will be a welcome addition to any athletic trainer's library. Although targeted primarily for entry-level athletic training students, both novice and experienced certified athletic trainers will find it a useful resource. The well-written insurance and reimbursement chapter covers the material in an easy to read manner, and provides several easy to understand examples and case studies. This much-needed text covers a wide range of topics not discussed in other athletic training books, but definitely needed. This is an easy read for athletic training students at all levels, as well as for novice and experienced certified athletic trainers." -- Darryl Conway, MA, University of Maryland, Doody Enterprises, Inc. "The text could serve as a primary text for an organization and administration course or as subject matter in an entry-level program, but it is useful as a reference text at any level. The text is well written and organized for easy reading. Additionally, it appeals to today's student by having less emphasis on text and offering more examples, tables, boxes, and case studies to illustrate concepts as they relate to athletic training. The text is comparably priced with other organization and administration texts in athletic training and is certainly worth reviewing for use in any athletic training education program." -- Larry J. Leverenz, PhD, ATC, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, Journal of Athletic Training
