Traditional training can be perceived by athletes as a monotonous chore to be endured rather than enjoyed. 101 Conditioning Games and Drills for Athletes presents 101 skill-based and competitive games designed to help coaches motivate and challenge their athletes while maintaining training intensity, building teamwork, and increasing participant enjoyment. Each game or drill is thoroughly explained, and includes materials needed (if any), the approximate playing area, coaching notes, as well as hints on how to vary the activities.

The book has fun games and great drills for any level. My team enjoyed the games and didn't even realize they were working out at the same time!

Not Very Practical in Most Cases,

This review is from: 101 Conditioning Games And Drills for Athletes (Paperback)
Perhaps they writers were going for variety. If so, they gave us too much variety.
Long story short, different equipment is required for most drills, so unless you have an endless variety of gear available to you, you will be limited to maybe 30 of these. For example: #35 In The Zone Materials Needed: 2 bumper plates, 2 agility ladders, 10 cones #84 Swimming Through Hoops Materials Needed: 6 Hula Hoops, multiple strands of rope, and 6 bricks I don't know about you, but I don't know many coaches who have access to bumper plates, agility ladders, cones, AND hula hoops, rope, and bricks available to them. Keep in mind, that would just be for 2 drills. In addition, many of the drills and games listed have been proved to be ineffective or at the very least are outdated. Bottom line, there are better books than this one available.
