“The second edition of the book [Science of Sports Training] is outstanding. The changes add a lot to the book. I feel it is a definitive book in the field because it is a good blend of the theoretical and practical. It is something that the coach can easily use. I recommend it over all the others. Your book reflects the reality of training an athlete.”
