Train Your Kids

Coaches and anyone who works with children should check out this book. It will dispel all those myths you may have heard about training children in sports.

Well written and easy to understand

I am from Greece and it was quite easy for me to understand it and apply the meaning of this book to my athletes. Thank you Mr. Bompa.

Excellent resource

It helped me a lot to understand the essentials of training my young kid, and designing an effective training strategy for his age.

Excellent Source for Youth Development and Training

It's hard to write a review without it sounding like an advertisement...This book dispels many myths of youth training like the need for early sports specific exercises. It covers exercises for all phases of youth development from ages 5 to 20. His advice, backed by world class achievement, can help you resist the pressure to put children through adult style training exercises and at the same time properly train children for future world class competition. I have compared his recommendations against many sources and have become convinced that they are correct. This book is a must have for Directors of Youth Coaching and Physical Development.
