It helps clarify the core symptoms and impact, as well as provides coaching tips and best practices. This guide is also useful to others invested in maximizing the sport experience for athletes, including parents and caregivers, athletic administrators, coach educators, and sport psychology consultants.

Each chapter takes a case study approach, with cases illustrating how a coach and athlete may experience sport within the context of an HDI, including how it may impact communication and development. In addition to hidden disabilities and conditions, the guide will also cover hidden physical conditions such as partial blindness, hard of hearing, and Osgood-Schlatter disease. Each section contains coaching techniques and strategies to consider and adopt when working with an athlete with an HDI. (c) 2023 225 pages
