A good resource for Coaches

I have had this book since 1991 and have read it now more than twice. As a current coach of a first grade rugby union side, I have found this book to be very helpful. It covers all aspects of the body, with sections on motivation, injuries and special problems to look out for in both young athletes and women athletes. It is not a rugby book, but covers all sports generally. It has some very good photos of specific injuries. I have used the section on motivation constantly. It has some good ideas on training methods as well as both post and pre injury training. Read and enjoy!
