Strength and conditioning specialist Joe Kenn draws upon the three strength disciplines -- weightlifting, powerlifiting, and body building -- as well as training principles of traditional periodization and high-intensity training, to define the "Tier System" of athletic-based strength training. The tier system promotes training athletes on a rotation of movements (total body, upper body, lower body) rather than training body parts. The result is an integrated, "whole-body" strength training program with greater real-world and sport-appropriate applicability. The book explores an overview of the system and provides annual plan development, training cycles, and daily and weekly plans. Ideal for coaches and trainers of football, basketball, track and field, wrestling, gymnastics, and any sport requiring maximum and explosive strength.

The Real Deal,
This review is from: Coachs Strength Training Plybk (Paperback)
The Coach's Strength Training Playbook is a must read for Strength and Conditioning professionals, sport coaches, or any individual who is looking to expand their knowledge on the development of athletes. This book is truly a valuable and comprehensive tool as it covers all aspects of strength training program design such as annual plan development, training cycles, as well as daily and weekly plans.
In addition, this book exposes the reader to the Tier System in which Coach Kenn has done a tremendous job meticulously breaking down every aspect of this athletic based training approach. I have personally gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from this book and have and will continue to use the principles of the Tier System.

A must have for your training library.,
This review is from: Coachs Strength Training Plybk (Paperback)
The Coach's Strength Training Playbook is an excellent resource for anyone responsible for the training of athletes. Rare are the texts that so thoroughly outline all of the components of a successful athletic based training program. Coach Kenn holds back no secrets as he breaks down the entire Tier System from the development of the annual plan all the way to specific training cycles.
