For this assignment, you will construct an annotated bibliography based upon your athlete’s identified skills. This Annotated Bibliography will be athlete and sport specific and contain books, articles, websites, etc that are relevant to your athlete’s sport’s skills. While not everything in your annotated bibliography will be peer reviewed in the traditional sense, sources should be from credible sport governing bodies, professional leagues, or known industry experts. As an example of the types of sources not to include: Livestrong.com. and the like.

Purpose: An annotated bibliography is an organizing tool that is helpful when working on a research project. An effective annotated bibliography is used to compile research sources in one location and provide the researcher with quick access to the information contained in each source.

Audience: This assignment should be directed at your scholarly peers, and you may assume that they have only a casual familiarity with your topic or issue.

Content/Subject: Your annotated bibliography will consist of the sources that you have deemed relevant to your topic and/or question(s) of inquiry.

• 3-5 sources of various types (book, article, website, etc.).

• Adherence to APA format for all citations.
• Sources in alphabetical order according to author.
