Description
Principles of Athletic Strength & Conditioning brings together 17 top strength and conditioning professionals to create a comprehensive and practical guide to athletic development. It includes detailed chapters on the most important aspects of training athletes including program design, warm-up and flexibility, in-season training, speed training, neck strengthening, injury prevention, plyometrics, explosive power development, program administration, anatomy and physiology, conditioning, motivation, and making an impact on a young athlete. Principles of Athletic Strength & Conditioning includes sample programs, and many illustrations and photographs to bring the training concepts to life.
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.
