"A rare book" - Dan John, author of Easy Strength and Never Let Go

Consistency is key

The most important rule of effective training is to be consistent. However, it is surprisingly easy, and human, to break this rule. Training wisdom is about recognizing and prioritizing the most important training principles and not getting distracted by secondary issues.

In The Little Black Book of Training Wisdom, Dr Dan Cleather - an elite strength and conditioning coach - describes the fundamental training principles in a simple and accessible way. In addition, he highlights some of the most common training pitfalls so they can be avoided. The book is a must for anyone who wants to learn how to build dominant athletic prowess by working smarter not harder.

"Dan cuts through the intellectual rubbish bin that has dominated our field for the last few decades and gives us clarity and insight." - Dan John

Concise but thorough advice on how to train

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 28, 2020

Concise but thorough advice on how to get more from your training and why.

The book is well-written and easily accessible without an overuse of jargon and any industry jargon is well-explained when first introduced.

The last few chapters are easily the best - eminently readable with great advice, which you can immediately take into your chosen sport.

tldr: be consistent!

Fascinating insight into decoding training plans, direct and accessible.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 31, 2022

How and why do we need to build a base? Exercise intensity….’sharpening a knife so much it becomes blunt’….understanding the taper and peak performance.
An excellent read, provides enormous practical insight into training concepts, l think we benefit so much when we know and understand what it is we are actually trying to achieve when training.

Great book, poor quality of production!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 8, 2022

The content of the book is fantastic, some great insight written in a simple accessible way.

However, the book is poorly made, pages fall out and come away from the spine at nearly every page turn. I may end up having to hole punch and put into a folder as I am close to having a collection of loose sheets. Poor production quality!

Its interesting if a little difficult to follow from time to time.

My new favourite strength and conditioning + book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

I’ve known Dan for around 10 years and always enjoyed thought provoking conversations with him about various aspects of training. Having just read the little book of wisdom I can confirm that it is indeed full of profound insights and hard won wisdom. Very few people would have the experience as both a practitioner and teacher to deliver this type of material. It’s accessible for everyone and contextualises all the research into simple and useful principles to guide and improve your approach to training. My previous favourite training book ‘ the way to live’ by hackenshmidt has been usurped.

Truly valuable wisdom

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

As a current student at St Mary's University studying under Dan on the S&C Masters course, I have had the pleasure of learning from Dan first hand and can say that his knowledge is vast, insightful, intuitive and highly valuable to any strength and conditioning coach. Dan not only has tons of experience, but his work is enveloped in critical thinking and is deeply refined.
A must read!
