This is a good book to develop quick feet and agility. The only disappointing chapter was the one on dot drills. I would have liked a few more drills rather than make the letters and numbers. Otherwise it is great for cones, hurdles, and agility ladders. Good purchase!

Great drills, but you do need the equipment to execute properly. Some are partner drills and then others just give you a bunch of patterns. All in all some good drills. For the price, I didn't mind buying it.

The picture on the cover is the only picture in the book. Yes there are diagrams that show where to lay down the cones or line tape to perform team sport drills. This wasn't the book of exercise drills that I was hoping for. I know now to look at how many color pictures and pages the book has before I buy it. This book is meant for a coach of a large team because it had nothing but drills running back and forth around orange cones. Maybe its my fault because the book is 101 agility drills and there were differt ways to arrange cones on a field just not 101 exercise like jumping jacks or diamond push-ups or any thing better!
