Athletics Books

I am a 24 year old former collegiate golfer, and this book is probably one of the best I have read for golf specific training. The exercises are described well and the workouts are easy to follow. There is also a nutrition section which talks about how to be healthier day to day as well as what to eat pre / during a round. For anyone looking to increase flexibility, strength, power, eat better, prevent injury, this book is a must.

Just a side note, but the movement prep sequence for the workouts / pre round are worth the price of this book itself. I will never workout or play golf again without completing the Movement Prep beforehand, it is the best stretching / warm up routine I have seen.

I highly recommend this book.

This book offers the Athletic Training and other Sports Medicine Professionals good advice when working with athletes who need guidance. It is not easy to educate and counsel athletes. Too often athletes hear only what they want and not what they need to hear. Since athletes are highly motivated to achieve success in competition, they tend to focus on their problems and how it affect them, not others.

Athletes have multiple problems, just like the rest of the population, the difference is, that most will try to work on their issues if they are identified and given strategies that work. Ray and Wiese-Bjornstal do a good job of presenting problems and solutions. They have identified the sound techniques and theories that work in the counseling arena.

The authors are quick to point out the dangers of uneducated counseling and the warning signs of potential serious disorders. It is fair to assume that the reader should have some understanding of basic psychology, and human behavior.

The reader should also understand sport and the different circumstances it presents to daily living.

I have been a professional in Athletic Training for over 30 years and found the text to be very helpful. It is succint and to the point but also in detail and complete on the topics discussed. I highly reccomend the text for the Sports Medicine Professional.

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.
