Customer Reviews

Make sure you get the latest edition

A fantastic resource for anyone working with track and field (Athletics) athletes, and really anyone working in sport. The author presents a lot of information here. Now while some of the scientific foundations early on in the book could be better covered by other texts, the latter portions of the book are outstanding. Frank Dick illustrates his points with practical examples of how he has applied principle into practice. Make sure you get the latest edition - which is vastly updated and relates much of the information to team sports such as football (soccer). Some of the book is still dated, but as I have said in other reviews, this does not mean it should just be written off right there and then. Tried and trusted methods still should carry weight in the modern world of sport science and training theory. More reviews of books like this one are on my blog which is listed in my profile.
