Leadership and Management in Athletic Training: An Integrated Approach

Leadership and Management in Athletic Training: An Integrated Approach, Second Edition is designed to help athletic trainers effectively integrate the art of leadership with the science of management.

Later chapters introduce management techniques such as record keeping, financial management, revenue and reimbursement strategies, as well as risk management. The text concludes with coverage of strategic thinking, facility design, professional ethics, and international athletic training.
