Reader Reviews
This review is from: Training for Speed, Agility, and Quickness (Paperback)
This is a pretty good book. Book covers several hundred excercises divided into the categories related to what each excercise targets - improvements in speed, agility or quickness. There is also a set of chapters describing what each of these (speed, agility, quickness) really mean in the sports context, and what affects their development. At the end of the book there is a training program, and there is also a speed, agility and quickness training program designed specifically for most of the popular sports (did not find cricket or polo). I would recommend taking a look at this book - specially if you are competition minded, or if you are a coach. I also think that book is relatively inexpensive for what you get.
