## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must Read!
*by C***C on October 9, 2009*

This book is a must read for coaches or anyone seeking to develop the total athlete. Gambetta offers great insight into the science of functional training and lays it all out so clearly that even those who are just having their first taste of the physiology of exercise can understand. This book focuses mainly on the science of functional training methods but also details some great thoughts on coaching in general. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Foundation of Athletics
*by E***B on June 26, 2013*

It is an incredible resource that makes readily available such fundamental concepts to success as work capacity, energy utilization, and the like. Program development is outlined with beautiful detail, and an undergurding as to why this concept, and many more, is always provided in detail. The father of functional sports conditioning offers the groundwork for every type of athlete, from distance runners to swimmers to football players and more. This is a text for success.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... BOOK IN GENERAL ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT AND IT WAS A GOOD CHOICE. IF YOU PUT TOGETHER WITH A BOOK ...
*by A***S on September 25, 2016*

IT WAS MY FIRST BOOK IN GENERAL ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT AND IT WAS A GOOD CHOICE. IF YOU PUT TOGETHER WITH A BOOK FOR MOTORSKILLS, AND SOME PERIODIZATION BOOKS YOU CAN HAVE A GREAT RESULT.
