The bibles according to Harre as some of my friends refer to it. An outstanding basic book, not because it is East German, there are no secrets just sound training concepts. I am rereading this for the umpteenth time. I find it keeps me grounded in the principles of training, no glitz, no glamor, no marketing, just basics. Every time I read it I marvel at the simplicity of the concepts. In the midst of this read it dawned on me how much influence the concepts taught in this book influences me. Really nothing especially profound, in the content, just common sense and sound pedagogy. It also serves to remind that training did exist before the internet, I know this will surprise many of the current generation of internet experts. This book is a must for a coaches library, unfortunately this book is now out of print. I think if you search on used book sites you can still find it.
