[.ca] Fundamentals of Track and Field-2nd Edition (ISBN 0736000089)

Nice To See a Canadian Perspective:
We've adopted this book as our Level 1 Coaches Manual. It gets all the major points of each event discipline in easy to understand terms.

Fundamentals of Track and Field:
I was happy with this book as soon as I opened the front cover. I am a new track coach who "only has a clue" about track from what I have observed from my star athlete daughter. I am pleased with this book because it has a lot of drawings which show good form in executing running, throwing, and jumping events. It is the perfect book for elementary school, middle school track athletes. It gives coaching tips after every explaination, common errors and corrections, and lots of drills to help reinforce the new skills the students learn. I highly recommend it for the beginning track coach, or the old track coach who is getting stale and needs new games and drills to keep track fun.

Fundamentals of Track and Field by Gerry Carr:
This book is a great resource for the physical education teacher or track and field coach. It has broken down each event into simple to understand stages. The coaching tips are of tremendous value to those who work with athletes. The illustrations that show how to perform each event are excellent for visual learners. Information within this book has been used in the preparation of my athletes. Melvin Baker International Track & Field Coach
