Never before has there been so much interest in developing athletes. Opportunities abound in high schools, middle schools, private training centers, sports clubs and colleges where young athletes want to get stronger, faster and more powerful. Unfortunately, the amount of information available can be overwhelming, and it is difficult to navigate through the jungle of mis-information available online. This has led to many athletes getting sub-par training that wastes time and energy and can even be dangerous. 

“This book is a must-read for those interested in the foundations of athletic performance.
