Book Reviews of Total Training for Young Champions

Book Review: Excellent Source for Youth Development and Training
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Summary of Total Training for Young Champions


Few athletes will be among the best in their sport at such a young age as Martina Hingis and Tiger Woods. But accelerated athletic development is now possible because of better, smarter training starting at an early age.

Total Training for Young Champions provides coaches, instructors, teachers, and parents of potential future sports stars the best conditioning advice and programs for establishing an overall fitness base and maximizing the athletic development of young people ages 6 to 18. Specifically, the book outlines how to increase a young athlete's coordination, flexibility, speed, endurance, and strength, thereby enabling them to excel in sports.

Tudor Bompa, one of the world's foremost sports conditioning experts who has trained 11 Olympic medalists, presents a safe, proven training regimen that builds upon each of the four stages of youth development:

- Initiation-prepuberty
- Athletic formation-puberty
- Specialization-postpuberty
- High performance-maturation

For the first three phases, Bompa provides nearly 300 exercises covering different ability levels, with several alternatives for variety. He also offers sport-specific training programs in 11 sports, including baseball, basketball, ice hockey, football, gymnastics, soccer, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and track and field.

Total Training for Young Champions is the comprehensive guide to developing the next generation of superior athletes. Use it to boost the physical tools every young athlete needs to succeed-and shine-in sports.
