Field event coaches Ed Jacoby and Bob Fraley have worked with many world-class and Olympic jumpers. In Complete Book of Jumps, they draw on their combined 60 years of coaching experience to help track and field athletes at all levels of competition improve their jumping technique, training, and performance. The book features clear instruction combined with detailed illustrations for these 4 jumping events: long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault. In Part I, the authors explore mechanical factors common to all jumps, components of the approach run, and strength and power training for jumpers. They share ideas for the development of technique, including • how to avoid flaws that slow the approach, • tips for achieving maximum height at takeoff, • how to use the number of strides to determine runway approach distances, and • 10 plyometric drills to add strength and power specifically for jumping. Part II features event-specific technique and training information. Devoting a chapter to each event, the book analyzes the various phases of each jump from approach to takeoff to landing. Eleven multiple-frame illustrations from the performances of record-setting jumpers help to demonstrate proper technique.

By breaking down each event into its key parts, these training programs help athletes fine-tune their skills and achieve peak performance.

ENDURANCE ATHLETE'S EDGE by: MARC EVANS
Endurance and multisport athletes are a dedicated bunch. Whether they are running marathons, racing through ocean swims, pedaling over mountains, or competing in triathlons or duathlons, most of these athletes are not content just to finish. Their challenge is to cover the distance with maximum speed. In Endurance Athlete`s Edge, author Marc Evans guides these serious competitors toward high-level fitness, flawless technique, and superior competitive performance. Selected as the USA National Triathlon Team coach and manager in 1989 and 1990, Evans has helped countless athletes move their performance standards ever higher. Through years of working with top athletes, such as Scott Tinley, he has developed a program that produces outstanding results in training and competition. Here, Evans teaches readers the most efficient swimming, cycling, and running techniques through numerous photographs and 50 performance drills. He includes prescriptions for strength training, flexibility, and nutrition, as well as advice for mental training and race preparation. Athletes and coaches alike will value the many effective training tables and charts carefully developed by Evans. He provides a series of templates that enable readers to customize training schedules.
