Józef Drabik, Ph.D., is a Professor of the University School of Physical Education (AWF) in Gdansk, Poland, where he was substantially involved in establishing the Center for Promotion of Children's Health and Fitness.
Dr. Drabik's publications aside from this book include 120 articles, papers, books, and other works, but he is much more than a theoretician. He has worked closely with children and youth throughout his career, both as a coach and p.e. teacher, and five times led his school's cross-country ski team to national level competitions.
His diagnoses and prescriptions come from working with real children with real needs and real abilities. He is very aware, in eminently practical ways, of what is possible and not possible, both for coaches and for children.
Dr. Drabik's training and instruction certifications give some hint of his breadth: Kayak Coach (1st Class); Cross-country Skiing Instructor; Basic Skating Instructor; Team Handball Instructor; Volleyball Instructor; Track and Field Instructor; Theory of Sports Lecturer; Coach Courses Lecturer; and Postgraduate Courses Lecturer.
