Review

I'm a two year starter for my college field hockey team. Your book has opened up the opportunity for me to play on international teams in Montréal. The muscular endurance I've built with the help of your book has enabled me to be in on corners and defensive corners, and I never have to come out of a game. I am from a tiny town where it is very rare for anyone to go on and play college sports. I started working out with your book my sophomore year of high school and the improvements I saw were awesome in all the sports I played. I ended up my senior year getting many awards for my athletics and also working out helped me focus on school. I graduated valedictorian. The book also helped me push myself in running and sprinting and incorporated my lifting with that. I played in college as a starter all through my freshman and sophomore years. Now I will be a junior and I can see how much my lifting and training has done for me. Anyways, the book is awesome and it really helps me to find new routines to keep me in good shape. Thanks. --Mike

I received a copy of the Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Field Hockey for Christmas. I have been training in the off season and I am much stronger from the programs I got from the book. My shot has become stronger and I have become quicker. Thank you for having such a great and useful service. --Abby M, High School State Tournament Quarter Finals, Semi-Finals

This book is a must-have for serious field hockey players. It provides all the information you need to get in shape and stay in shape. It provides instruction and advice that every field hockey player should know about training. Field hockey isn't just about the game, it's about the months of practise and training leading up to it as well. If you are serious about the sport, I would buy it.
