I am not an athlete or a coach。 If I were either, I likely would have found more value in this one。 Dan's core message is。。。。 when training, do not disrupt consistency。 Consistency is what allows one to stack many small gains over time。 The power of that point cannot be understated。 For anyone either reading this book or interested in improvement, I'd highly recommend reading Atomic Habits by James Clear alongside this one。 I am not an athlete or a coach。 If I were either, I likely would have found more value in this one。 Dan's core message is。。。。 when training, do not disrupt consistency。 Consistency is what allows one to stack many small gains over time。 The power of that point cannot be understated。 For anyone either reading this book or interested in improvement, I'd highly recommend reading Atomic Habits by James Clear alongside this one。 。。。more

Simplifies training science so that it's understandable。 While I knew some of what I read he de-clutters all the information out there。 He make training make sense。 Simplifies training science so that it's understandable。 While I knew some of what I read he de-clutters all the information out there。 He make training make sense。 。。。more

Concise but thorough advice on how to trainConcise but thorough advice on how to get more from your training and why。 I was familiar with quite a bit of the advice but Dan John ties a lot of the strands together very well, while also not being afraid to call out a lot of the crap in the sports performance industry。The book is well-written and easily accessible without an overuse of jargon and any industry jargon is well-explained when first introduced。The last few chapters are easily the best - Concise but thorough advice on how to trainConcise but thorough advice on how to get more from your training and why。 I was familiar with quite a bit of the advice but Dan John ties a lot of the strands together very well, while also not being afraid to call out a lot of the crap in the sports performance industry。The book is well-written and easily accessible without an overuse of jargon and any industry jargon is well-explained when first introduced。The last few chapters are easily the best - eminently readable with great advice, which you can immediately take into your chosen sport。tldr: be consistent, it’s the cardinal rule! 。。。more

Clear and concise。 Dan cuts through all of the useless scientific terms that S&C coaches might use to impress people, instead, he uses language that everyone can understand so that everyone can gain from the book。 For example referring to 'periodisation' as the organisation of training across the year into manageable phases, which even if you know what periodisation is still helps develop your thoughts。 Clear and concise。 Dan cuts through all of the useless scientific terms that S&C coaches might use to impress people, instead, he uses language that everyone can understand so that everyone can gain from the book。 For example referring to 'periodisation' as the organisation of training across the year into manageable phases, which even if you know what periodisation is still helps develop your thoughts。 。。。more

I felt like I knew a lot of the information (which the author said many readers might), but he sorted my ideas into a far more digestible arrangement! Great book for anyone interested in sports performance。

Consistency is keyConfirmed a lot of my biases but also challenged my thinking in certain areas too。 Great book for any coach or athlete。
