Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the nation's elite strength and conditioning coaches presents a unique training program designed to help men achieve functional strength and muscular balance throughout their bodies For decades, the conventional measure of an individual's strength was the amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In Men's Health Power Training, this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players. The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include: • exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture • training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective • compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation exercises found in many fitness books • no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food pyramid developed by the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition that will optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential book from online tennis coaching sensation Ian Westermann, founder of EssentialTennis.com What’s the number one thing stopping you from playing your best tennis? Ian Westermann, founder of the world’s #1 online tennis instruction portal, Essentialtennis.com, will confidently say it’s an obstacle you probably never thought of: The ball. You might think this sounds ridiculous. The whole point of tennis is to hit the ball over the net and in, so how can the ball be the thing that’s standing in the way? In fact, this is why the ball is such an impediment: your desire to hit a good shot, with the right mix of power and spin, to a specific spot on the court, prevents you from striking the ball the way you should. In Essential Tennis, readers – players and coaches, alike – will learn how improving at tennis actually happens and how to easily implement these lessons and integrate them into better play on the court. Players will hit stronger shots, make fewer errors, and beat players who are currently beating them. Coaches will look differently at what it means to provide a student with a holistic learning experience. Essential Tennis contains technique-based instruction for executing groundstrokes, volleys, and serves, as well as progressions, drills, and mindsets players should incorporate. Westermann illuminates strokes, movement, strategy, and mental toughness – all proven to be successful over 20 years with clients of all ages and skill levels.

This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 54 Tennis Drills for Today's Game: Improve Consistency and Power By Joseph Correa Training for a match is important but training with a purpose is even more important and probably the main reason why some people win often while others don't. The best players in the world train using drills. Some drills are more specific than others but they all fall into one pattern or another. Learning and becoming great at those patterns will help you use specific strategies affectively in you matches which will increase the percentage of matches you win. Point drills and advanced tennis drills are lots of fun and are exciting for the players doing them. Sometimes it might become difficult for you to complete some of the rope drills but don't give. Keep working hard and eventually you will get it right. This unusual type of training will help you to improve your overall control of high balls, low balls, high top spin, and low slice, flat or with minimal topspin. You will also improve your ability to direct the ball to specific spots on the court as well as become a lot more consistent. Once you complete this training you will feel more complete as a tennis player and will enjoy making your opponents work harder than they have ever before. If you are beginner or intermediate in level, you can still do these drills as they can only make you better than you are right now but you might feel it requires some persistence until you get it right. Everything here is assuming you are right handed but you can simply do the opposite if you are left handed. This was done to simplify things but applies to both right handed players and left handed players.
