"Training Games" is a rather tiny publication compared to others relating to the same topic, but it is loaded with great ideas! It is to the point. Everything relates to practice and there is no wasted page! I used this book over and over and still discover new things. It also leads the user to create and add own ideas. Invaluable for any teacher and coach! It is money well spent.
A great coaches tool !!!

Lots of fun and useful information. The kids are always asking to play a game or practice one of the techniques found in the book. I have had the book for a year, and there is still so much yet to use! A great tool for finding new and different ways to improve your coaching/training.
good games for distance runners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The author has put together a lot of different games and ideas for taking the tedium out of distance running. As a coach, I have incorporated many of his ideas into my program. The book also discusses racing strategy, coping-with-pain techniques, and other mental aspects of the sport.A great book. I'm buying my 2nd copy because one of my former athletes took my first copy to college with him!
