5.0 out of 5 stars really a unique book, September 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Building the Total Athlete: Strength Training and Physical Conditioning for Junior and Senior High School Athletes (Spiral-bound)

I'm a new coach and find myself responsible for three different sports during the year. This book helped me incredibly. It discusses different exercise regimens for athletes in different sports, and it provides a booklet for each athlete! I simply duplicated the copy in the book and was able to give it to all my kids so they could guide their own workouts. I think every coach should buy and use this book. I've never seen anything like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me change my body., July 17, 1999

Before I read this book I knew very little about how to really get fit. Since reading and applying what I read, I not only look and feel great but I have only eighteen percent body fat. This book helped me change my body. I have met Bruce Hanson and everything he says in this book is golden.
