Editorial Reviews
Review
"Faigenbaum and Westcott have contributed a highly innovative approach to the field of youth strength training. Strength and Power for Young Athletes combines up-to-the-minute research regarding the physiological and psychological aspects of youth strength training with a meticulous array of training exercises and tips. Most notable is the chapter on the 7-to 9-year-old strength program. I recommend this book for youth coaches, parents, and young athletes interested in improving their health and lives through strength training."
Steve Brennan
Executive director of the Midwest Youth Coaches Association
"Through their book, Avery and Wayne have provided an intelligent and systematic plan for young people interested in improving and strengthening themselves. Regardless of whether the young person plans to participate in organized sports, or looks instead toward improving his or her quality of life, this book will establish a fitness base that will last a lifetime."
