After having my fair share of running injuries, it was great to read this book. It explains what the causes and solutions of running injuries are, simply put. There are places in which it gets a bit technical, but only because it is necessary.

It also contains most of the major injuries and stories of common runners and their injuries.

Highly recommended.

I had a chance to meet the doctor who wrote this book (by coincidence!) and he was absolutely amazing with his diagnoses.

E.F.Benson's Daily Training (published in 1903) contains a series of physical exercises, along with solid advice concerning one's health. Though written so long ago, everything in this book is still vitally pertinent today. I bought the book because I collect (and read) Benson volumes: this one contains invaluable guidance.

As a Brit living in the US who had played soccer for many years, I became involved in coaching youth soccer (U10) a couple of years ago. I purchased numerous books for ideas on drills and approaches to teaching soccer. I consider this book to be one of the best! It includes 5 different levels of development models to take kids from 'basic abilities and capacities' through mini-soccer, 7 v 7, 8 v 8 and 11 v 11.

All of the drills are well illustrated and explained. I have personally used most of the drills in the book. The narrative explain the characteristics of children at various stages of development and how best to develop their play from basic concepts to team play. If you are serious about 'teaching soccer' and not just running drills, I recommend this book!

Pick this book up if you are a Dawg fan. I goes thru what Dooley was thinking from game one thru the national championship, to the last game against Mich St. It tells of the recruting of Walker and other UGA greats. Great pics as well, every UGA fan must have one

This is one of the all time classic fitness books. Full of common sense and personal experience, Dr. Sheehan was filled with wisdom on physical fitness. He talks of working out and balancing physical work with mental activity. The secrets to staying young are in this book.

Again tunis proves he is one of the greatest writers for boys. This book was phenomenal. Tunis wrote very well. I COMPLETELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK because it was very well written. Anyone who loves books will love this.

This is a great book for anyone that deals with athletes. Great source for answers to any questions !

I had heard of Tarzan Brown when I was young. He seemed a mysterious character, with not much known about him. I enjoyed learning about him, what a really great runner he was in a time when 100 runners in a race was a lot. The author interviewed many of those who knew him, including his wife, and gives an idea what it must have been like to be a Narragansett Indian in those days.

For anyone who loves the freedom of running (which Tarzan did), and is interested in life in New England 70 years ago, this book is a real find. You will also learn more about Johnny Kelley (the elder), Clarence DeMar, Les Pawson, Bricklayer Kennedy, etc. This was a time when money was scarce, and runners had to be amateurs- Tarzan once won a refrigerator in a race, but he had no electricity so gave it away. At one point he won 17 races in a row; at his peak he was brilliant. He won consecutive marathons over a 2-day period, taking a night train from NY to NH to get to the 2nd one. Tarzan had quite a spirit, and I thank the author for his painstaking research.

The price was good and the book was brand new. I got the book within 5 business days! I saved both time and money purchasing this book through Amazon. Great Deal!
