Coaching Youth Track & Field

Great intro to coaching kids and coaching track and field. Good basic understanding of all the events. I've coached at all levels, from Elementary to D1 NCAA and this is the best all around guide I've found for young track and field athletes. The book goes through forming a team, practicing, some event specific drills, and going to meets. Doesn't get into a lot of detailed event particulars - but if you need that, then you're past the level of this book anyway.

This book was essential to the success of my program. Having never run or coached track before I bought 5 different books on coaching youth, developing speed and agility, but this was the only one I needed. It covers mechanics and technique of running, jumping and throwing, as well as drills and general coaching development. I have notes sticking out of almost every page, and I return to this book almost every practice.

Very informative for me as a parent coach.

Perfect reference and knowledge guide for working with youth runners, throwers, & jumpers as advertised. I transitioned from high school to middle school T&F and realized right off that I needed to retool and this was the perfect buy. I originally had the kindle fire edition of this book and went ahead and purchased the hard copy as well.

The book gives details on running programs and coaching advice about all the events for youth track programs. It focuses mainly on the Hershey track program as well as the USATF program. My team participates in both so it is very useful, but even if you don't participate in these meets,there is plenty of information for you.

ok

First time grandson ran track. He needed to know rules as coaches were first-timers.

This book has given me great insight into the approach of coaching youth. This was a good purchase for me since for the past 5-6 years, I've been coaching adults. I'm really looking forward to the Track season.

Muy buen libro, además el envío fue demasiado rápido

Déçu je pensais trouver des séances type pour entraîneur débutant. Je ne dirai pas que je n'ai rien appris mais j'aurai aimé qu'il soit plus complet. PS: livre tout en anglais donc si vous n'êtes pas bilingue ne le commandez pas.

コーチとしての心構えから実技指導法まで。結構ためになりました。
