Coaching Champions by Tony Gummerson
The Youth Coaching series is a practical resource for coaches, teachers and parents of promising young sportspeople aged between 11 and 18, devised to help identify, nurture and develop sporting talent. The first book in the series, Coaching Champions, provides effective and accessible information and techniques for anyone involved in youth coaching. As well as sport-specific training programmes for both individual and team sports, this comprehensive handbook also covers: how to identify potential talent; age and performance; fitness and conditioning; training requirements; the training and competition environment; adapted training; safety. Further books in the series, to be published in 2006, will include Food for Champions and The Mental Game.
