Review

I have been able to improve my speed and strength by using the workout programs in your book. I work out very regularly and since using the strength workouts in your book I have noticed significant gains in strength and size after only a few workouts. I also have noticed an increase in my speed. Your book is very good and I would definitely recommend it to others that seem to be at a standstill in their workouts. It broke me out of a rut and it probably will do that to others also. Thanks for a great book. --Leonard O

I'm a high school hockey goalie and thanks to your book, I got 4 shut outs in a row which was my biggest milestone. The advice and programs I received from the book helped me get stronger and more flexible which allowed me to make starting goalie for my team. I thank everyone involved in creating this book. --Bobby S

I've read this book cover to cover. I have two main complaints about this book:

1) I was hoping to gain specific knowledge of hockey-specific training techniques. This book provides very little information about that. The workout and nutrition routines seem generic - like they could work for any sport. Furthermore, this book doesn't explain why you're doing what you're doing!

2) The grammar and spelling is abosolutely atrocious. It was painfully to read some parts.
