Editorial Review:
Athletes will do anything to be more competitive. They'll buy the latest equipment, practice for hours, and even pay a personal trainer for lessons. This book offers them a more fundamental way to perform better: improve their overall athleticism. The plyometrics exercises in this book are proven to help athletes progressively enhance their speed, agility, quickness, and jumping ability. The sport-specific workouts are not about getting in shape, they're about getting to a crosscourt backhand faster, reaching higher for a rebound, or making a sharper cut to get open in front of the goal.Plyometrics for Explosive Speed and Power provides the nonprofessional with an easy-to-understand explanation of why plyometrics works, the sports-training research behind it, and how to integrate plyometrics into an overall fitness program. It provides complete illustrated descriptions for each exercise and includes an easy-to-follow index listing each exercise by level and category, based on desired performance outcome.

Rating:  - Good for beginners
This book covers all the basics of Plyometrics, has good descriptions and pictures. However, people who already know the basics will want something a little more advanced.
It's a good investment overall.
Rating: - Great for specific training programmes
Very clear and prescriptive programmes set out with photos for each sport. I used the ski programmes this year and was very happy with results...
