A great book for any athlete or coach

Progressions for Athlete and Coach Development is a unique book. It is the first attempt by USA Swimming to acknowledge and plan for the development of the athlete as a whole person--physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially. Part I, Progressions for Athlete Development, is a tool for the coach to use when designing the overall plan for an athlete's career development. Part II, Progressions for Coach Development, provides general concepts for how coaches can promote development of their athletes in five areas--training, biomechanics, physiology, character development and life skills, and psychology. Finally, this book incorporates the USA Swimming Training Categories Handbook in appendixes A and B.
