Topic 10: General vs. Specific Training in Sports

Some Motivating Questions:

1.  What do we mean by general and specific training?  In what way do professional athletes receive these types of training?

2.  Consider the implications of the Beckerian training model we have learned in class.  How do its various conclusions apply (or not apply) in the context of pro sports? 

3.  What have labor economists found in recent research on the prevalence of the two types of training in sports or otherwise?
