Excellent book. Well written, and in the right vein for kids. Too many coaches today push these kids to the point of making them drop out of running. And worse, they ruin that kid for what could be a fun and rewarding activity into their adult lives.
This book covers in systematic order the pros of training and setting up a four-pronged approach to training and the cons of over training. I especially appreciated the coach examples of the schools that were included. The pictures are a good reference for all the stretch activities.
This is a must book for a coach who is working with this age group. They hit it right on the head and if you follow the guidance in the book, you'll turn out winners and lifetime runners - who have FUN!
