Athletics Books

My daughter is now playing at a Division II program thanks to this book. Her highschool coaches did not offer any outreach for their female atheletes. The first 40 pages gave us the insight to evaluating her athletic and academic strengths which assisted us in determining the best program to fit her needs. Sure hope this company produces a basketball guide by 2002 when our son begins his college search.

Dr. LeRoy Walker has been referred to as an American Hero and after reading his story, I can fully agree. His story is about overcoming politics, poverty, and racism to eventually become the President of the U.S. Olympic Committee. His Olympic Journey was a remarkable triumph and one I'll always remember. Great book!

This book is made up of 29 chapters, one for each Olympic Marathon race (through 1996). The chapters average 6 pages each, which makes this book very easy to read. Each chapter/race is a fascinating story. And the book is very well written. A great read.

We bought this book after our rugby team had two concussions during a match. This book breaks down possible injuries and gives a list of warning signs and how to stabilize injuries until you can reach a hospital. I was very impressed with the clear writing style which makes it possible for anyone to understand and apply the techniques described. I recommend this book for sports teams to keep with their medicine chest.

Perhaps the best book to ever capture the true essence and spirit of long distance running, this well written book features interviews with both amateur and Olympic long distance runners and captures that unique rush that runners get (through the sense of challenge and accomplishment). The book also traces the history of marathon running and its place in human history. Truly a great book that any distance runner should read.

If you have an sense of the rich tradition of Wisconsin athletics, this book is a must-have.

This book has been updated and published by lippincott. It is written in the same format as the first edition.

This book was exactly what I was looking for to review for the NATABOC exam as well as to have for future reference. The layout is perfect as it goes step by step through each evaluation of the different areas of the body.

This one of the best taping, brace, wrapp and padd books I ever have, because it ilustrate all procedures needed to help the athletic injuries prevention. It gives the best and alternative ways to ensure the athlete protection and also the best explanation of these methods through great pictures

This book will provide more then what you paid for. Easy to read for every student and jet great reminder of Musculoskeletal System for any doctor or specialist. Must have if you are serious about your learning.
