Book of the Day: Athletic Development

Title: Athletic Development

Author: Vern Gambetta

From the book: “All sports involve some of these movements: running, jumping, throwing, pushing, pulling, reaching, lifting, bending, extending, stopping, and starting. When I set out to design and implement a conditioning program, I am aware of all these movements and how they efficiently blend and flow into athletic skill. To design an effective training program, you need to train fundamental movement skills before training specific sports skills.”

Takeaway: Vern’s book is a go-to for any coach or trainer who seeks a holistic training approach of athletes. Vern does an excellent job of balancing training theory, realities, science, and art in a coherent framework with clear and practical language and examples any coach or athlete can put to immediate use.
