Abstract

Given the applied nature of the challenge of improving rugby place kicking performance, it is important that any research undertaken leads to outcomes of improved practice of coaches and kickers. The approach adopted in this chapter is therefore based around Bishop’s (2008) Applied Research Model fo...
