This is a series of coaching manuals, concentrating on a step-by-step approach to the techniques of competitive sports - both in the physical aspects and the equally important question of motivation and mental preparation. Each of the books has been written by a qualified coach and contains numerous diagrams and photographs which clearly demonstrate correct techniques. This is a complete guide to competing and winning at all levels of the sport. Each of the Olympic strokes is broken down into component parts and step-by-step drills, and this training programme also includes the key techniques required for starts, turns, finishes, as well as the teamwork necessary in the relay squad. The authors conclude with a brief look at the psychology of the sport, including some practical advice on how to develop a competitive attitude before and during races.
This is part of a series concentrating on a step-by-step approach to the techniques of competitive sports - both in the physical aspects and the equally important question of motivation and mental preparation. The book takes a step-by-step look at the skills required by the competitive gymnast. Warming-up and conditioning exercises lead on to a systematic review of the separate demands of each piece of apparatus and each different mat technique. The authors stress at all stages the importance of proper supervision during training, and the need for correct safety procedures. They also consider the role of gymnastics in developing the individual's general fitness, suppleness and spatial awareness.
