Review by John Leonard:
The best teachers in the world use various modalities to deliver information to their students. In this case, the prominent feature that makes this book special is the extraordinary still photos of today’s world-class swimmers that are presented. The photos are crystal clear, thorough, and presented from angles that reflect the superb knowledge-base of the author/teacher.
When I got my copy of this book, I immediately copied photos I liked and distributed them to my team.... “What, no videos?” Exactly...no videos. Often the best way to get a particular specific teaching point across to an athlete is a still photo of a particular stroke point in time. This book is the best current resources on the market to achieve that.
It will add to the coach’s knowledge base... and the coach’s internalized picture of what the strokes should look like... and it will add the exact same contribution to your athletes.
Well done Sheila!
