Athletics Books

Good coverage of all the fundamental aspects of playing tennis. Good photos and illustrations to make the points understandable and clear to the reader. Not much needs to be updated even though the game has evolved because the author stays clear on stressing the right fundamentals in approaching the game.

I've been a sports therapist for 26 years and have bought studied most of the books on sports massage. Pat Archer has done a tremendous job of organizing, explaining, and demonstrating the methods and rationale for sports massage. This is a great book for beginner or advanced massage therapist, but may be too advanced for non-professionals.

This book does not focus on racing. It covers a lot of options for the new runner like gizmos and gear. Most importantly it explains how to start running and how to enjoy running long term. Jog your own pace and talk to friends at the same time.

This is a very complete book showing the rider how to create a complete exercise program designed to build strength, flexibility, and endurance. The exercise diagrams are clear and show which specific muscles are being targeted and how the exercise relates to riding. The programs allow you to advance to more diffiicult exercises as you improve. There is also chapters on healthy eating and stress reduction.

This is the best running log I have ever used. The weekly pages have a useful setup , the variety of charts for recording race and training info. is comprhensive, and the training and stretching information is excellent. The page set up allows you to keep your training information in a useful and organized format. It has a 5 column format with weekly goals, actual weekly milage, and year to date milage totals at the bottom of each column. I use the 5 columns to record my milage and workout information for running, cycling, swimming, cross training, and weight training. Each page allows room for comments, weekly goals, weekly actual milage, and year to date totals. I plan to use this training log next year again and have recomended it to my friends.

It's the perfect, quick and easy guide to being mindful and learning to better you life.

Wow, I checked this out at my library and was amazed at the info in this. I am from Indiana and this has every score from every sectional, regional, semi state and state game from 1911 - 2005. I bought a used one on Amazon for my own for a little over $2!!! Best money I have spent in a long time.

I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised at the readability of this travel guide. There are inspirational stories in each chapter that make lies out of every excuse I've ever given for not running a marathon. As a cheering section member, this guide helps me show support while having a good time. I especially love the section 'Forget Sightseeing, Get me to a Spa'. Next time you want to run - I'll be at the spa waiting to hear your stories.

Excellent video. Well constructed set of drills and technique training to help you learn and/or improve your stroke mechanics. Great whether learning or looking to improve.

This bag is awesome, I use it for air travel and for my jiu jitsu gear. The wet pocket means it doesnt get stunk out so its fine to use it for other things. Fits a BJJ Gi easily, very comfortable to carry and plenty of pockets for the mouth guard, box and belt. The fold out mat seems a little pointless but im not doing out door sports so im sure it would be handy for that. Pretty easy to tuck a folded towel into the end pouch if you want to keep that seperate. Great Buy
