5.0 out of 5 stars
Great help for improving base performance,
By Starr J Fenner (Jonesboro, AR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Training For Speed, Agility and Quickness (Paperback)
We purchased the book a few weeks ago and since using the program my daughter is a new person. After learning the basic skills in each of the three categories: speed, agility and quickness, she has increased both her performance and attitude. She is working on her volleyball skills and is improving her reflexes. She really enjoys the drills. She has been practicing some of the rolls and moves even when she is not working out. The guidance is what she really needed and has really helped her athleticism.

This is the text that I have been waiting for!,
By Mike (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Training For Speed, Agility and Quickness (Paperback)
No need to spend valuable time searching your files for various drills any longer.These coaches have placed drills into separate categories for our convenience. The combination of old and new drills will make your conditioning sessions more enjoyable for the athletes, and will certainly meet the training objectives of any coaching staff. There is a section which has sample programs that will give athletes, parents, and coaches solid advice on how to develop and organize a SAQ program that can be tailored specifically to fit individual needs.Get fast or be last!

Great Drill Book,
This review is from: Training for Speed, Agility, and Quickness-2nd Edition (Paperback)
If you're looking for drills to improve you or your athletes speed, agility, or quickness- look no further.The book starts out with a short chapter on preparing for the drills followed by another short chapter on "needs analysis" (which shows you how to evaluate the need for a speed, agility, and quickness program). The rest of the book from there is the "meat" of the book: three sections of drills, one for speed, one for agility, and one for quickness. Each of these sections is loaded with great pictures of the drills along with the purpose of the drill and an explanation of how to do it. The book ends with a 6th Chapter on sport-specific programs. Here the reader is given routines for all the different sports such as volleyball, karate, baseball, etc. All-in-all I found this to be a very nice resource for drills- drills for really just about any sport. To boot, the size of the book is such that you can toss it in a gym bag and take it with you. Other sports resources I liked include The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution if you suffer from plantar fasciitis. Happy training!
