“I’ve always been baffled that more ties between sports and health communication haven’t been made. Apparently, Jimmy Sanderson and Melinda Weathers share this sentiment as well. Assembling a diverse set of authors, perspectives, and concepts, this volume does not merely highlight areas where the linkage of sport and health research can be fruitful—it creates an educational imperative for doing so.”
