Review

I am starting my first year as the head volleyball coach at Lake of the Woods High School in Minnesota. I have been reading "The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Volleyball," and is has been a huge help in setting up the weight training schedule I will be using for the girls. The tips, and techniques have been a great help! Thanks so much for the great book! --Jill O, Head Volleyball Coach and Former Collegiate Player

The Ultimate Weight Training guide for volleyball is an awesome book and it has been a great refresher course regarding proper weightlifting techniques and I now have the motivation I've been looking for. I know exactly what to do on what days, how many sets and reps to do, and how much rest time to take between sets. My programs were designed specifically for volleyball players like me and it is showing. Thanks! --Heather R, Former College Athlete

I play volleyball and I was determined to make the varsity volleyball team when I began using your book. I did make the Varsity team and I couldn't have done it without your book's help. I feel stronger, happier and less out of breath. I am very satisfied with my results and will keep playing! --Megan W

This book is straightforward, unlike Complete Conditioning for Volleyball. I know exactly when and how to work out.

The off and pre-season programs are very solid.

The only thing I wish it had in it is more agility and plyometrics programs.

I was under the impression this book was strickly a "volleyball weight training" guide, which it is not. I did however enjoy the weight training sections that were quite generic in nature but informative none the less. If you are looking for a generic overview of weight training for sports, this is your book. If you want an intense guide into volleyball specific weight training, look into another series.
