Industry Reviews
"I have served as a professor, department chair, and academic dean, and I have observed hundreds of students who enroll in programs with little concept of career options and how to achieve employment goals. Students need guidance in understanding the options. Careers in Sport, Fitness, and Exercise provides that guidance." Brian J. Sharkey, PhD -- Professor Emeritus, University of Montana Past President of American College of Sports Medicine "Careers in Sport, Fitness, and Exercise offers clear information, helpful examples, and plenty of food for thought for those aspiring to find a career in this growing field." Nancy Clark, MS, RD, CSSD -- Director of sports nutrition services at Healthworks, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts Author of Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook, Fourth Edition
