Athletics Books

I love this book. I was amazed to learn it is out of print. Jeff Cook does an amazing job of taking you inside the life and minds of the greatest athletes in the world. If you are looking for inspiration or motivation of the athletic sort, read this book. I was awestruck at Jeff's ability to extract the emotion and intensity of these athletes. This book was part of an Olympic display at my local library, at the time I was training for my first marathon and thought it would be a great way to boost my motivation, boy did it ever. I found myself having to find seats on the train to work that were out of the way due to my constant tearing, it is that good. I have never competed in a triathlon but since the reading of this book have purchased 3 Ironman videos (I'm addicted) and one day plan to do one. If you are in any way into endurance sports and love to read stories about those who push the body to the physical limit, this one's for you!

I loved the book and felt Jeff Cook did a wonderful job in details,emotions, and the true meaning of women triathletes. As a triathlete myself I have read this book many times and always feel like I could read it again. Very inspirational.

I just received the Ultimate Guide today and the second you open the book it's packed with knowledge. very specific for the twists and turns you will encounter with your workout programs, what works together with what to get the best results. ABSOLUTELY A MUST FOR THOSE TRYING TO BUILD A PROGRAM.

I'm a multi sport athlete who trains all year round regardless of what sport I play. I bought a few of these Ultimate Guide to Weight Training books, and they definitely helped me train specifically for the different sports that I play. Then about a year later I received an email from amazon that there was a new edition out. These upgraded editions are even better than the originals, with more articles and a lot more sport-specific information. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who plays a lot of sports or wants to specifically focus on training for one sport in particular.

I bought this item for my son, a football coach, and he stated that it was the best presentation that he had ever heard. Although I had heard this previously from the person who had recommended it. Haven't listened myself, but will to assure that both are correct.

LOU HOLTZ IS THE GREATEST MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER OF ALL TIME. IT'S NO WONDER HE WAS SUCH A GREAT COACH.

I bought this book on impulse without expecting much and so was very pleasantly surprised. I've yet to see another picture book that introduces the notion of adult fallibility with such sweetness and humor. Miss Malarkey, stepping in as soccer coach, endures some rather poor behavior from parents, and boy, does she show them!

My daughter loves the comeuppance, as well as the the fact that some of the humorous dialogue takes place in balloons over the characters' heads. (Your child IS going to be exposed to comic book formatting someday. Isn't it best that YOU be the one to introduce it?)

Kids spend their young lives having to obey adults and take as given that they know better. Miss Malarkey makes it a lot easier to take.

I have bought all of the Miss Malarkey books for my six year old grandson. We think they're hillereous. This book is the funniest. The soccer parents remind me of my grandson's soccer games and the adults at those games.

The '0 to 40' manual is a speed development, strength and conditioning training program that emphasises improving the forty yard dash. The '0 to 40' training program last six weeks and the manual guides you step by step, day by day exactly what execises to do. Pre-training test, daily journals and post-training test will allow athletes and coaches to track results before, during and after the six week training period. Great for football, soccer, baseball, basketball, field hockey and track athletes.

I found this book to be informative and a very useful tool for my son who is looking for a soccer playing college with certain criteria. It is thorough and the information saved us a lot of time in visiting some colleges that he thought he was interested in, and it revealed some other schools to us that he is now considering exploring further.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

This is by far the most detailed baseball book I have ever used. It is the perfect guide for any young man interested in playing collegiate baseball and also for anyone who needs information on a particular college program.

As an anally retentive tax lawyer, this is my idea of a good time. There's nothing I enjoy more than a good read about icing or the offsides rule.

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL
