After a few years of playing golf (albeit not too well), I've finally found some good golf instruction. This book helped me come off the tee more consistently and I'm driving about 50-75 yards further than ever. I wished I'd read this book a long time ago. One of my friends wants to borrow it...sorry, gotta get your own copy!

This was exactly what I was looking for - it was far more beneficial to me than a collection of drills, exercises, positions, and the like. It helped me understand how to learn on the range which helped me perform much better on the course. I'd recommend this book to any player looking to improve their game.

In fact you can by any book of Allen Wade. He is one of the most respected authors on the subject and responsible for the development and introduction of principles of team play. Allen Wade is my prefered author; it has helped my career as brazilian national team observer in the last 7 world Cups.

Progressions for Athlete and Coach Development is a unique book. It is the first attempt by USA Swimming to acknowledge and plan for the development of the athlete as a whole person--physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially. Part I, Progressions for Athlete Development, is a tool for the coach to use when designing the overall plan for an athlete's career development. Part II, Progressions for Coach Development, provides general concepts for how coaches can promote development of their athletes in five areas--training, biomechanics, physiology, character development and life skills, and psychology. Finally, this book incorporates the USA Swimming Training Categories Handbook in appendixes A and B.

Business managers can learn how to couch troubled performers and increase productivity with The Progressive Discipline Handbook, which moves beyond the general advice guide to get down to the specifics of management.

A 'must' for any business library catering to managers.

Dr. Cook breaks down the mental aspects of golf into bite-size concepts that I could apply to my own game. The tapes are inspirational and entertaining, but more important to me, they have helped me lower my golf score.

The tape series prepares you for the challenges that we create in our minds when we get on the course. I have listened to the tapes several times and each time I have taken away nuggets of mental preparation that have made my game more successful and more enjoyable.

Lou Holtz is one of the greatest one-liners in Sports today. But his quotes, based on a no-nonsense philosophy of "responsibility and accountability", i.e., you are responsible for your actions, you are accountable to your school, coach and team mates, and family apply to everyday life as well.

The book is very well organized and is easy reading; the quotes are often sprinkled with humor and satire.I highly recommend it to readers of every age.

If you love Steve Spurrier, you'll love this collection of hundreds of his quotes. If you hate Spurrier, you'll still love the book as it gives you ammo to yell back at. If you're not in either of these categories of people, then you might want to check and see if you're still alive. This is Spurrier in a nutshell, and it's a beautiful book.
