Not For High School
This may be a great book for those that need to help college athletes with conditioning and strength training but it is not for high school. The DVD is poorly produced and rather boring. It is greared towards the coach and not the athlete. Do not buy this book if you are looking for a good DVD. Do not buy this book if you need help with throwing form. Buy this book if you need help with workouts and NOTHING more. ... Read more

What a Goal!
Whoa, Florence Griffith Joyner, the worlds wonderful track star of the womens track history. This women showed and told that she worked her heart out just to reach her goal.I love this book so much because just by reading it she showed me that I to can also reach my goals of the future.Even though she died I still remember she wuz and she still will be the best in my eyes and mind.Florence went to UCLA and started her future there.the coach thought that she was not good enough to be on the famous college team, but she showed her how much track meant to her.florence showed that it just didn't take hard work to reach an important goal of your life but she showed that it took faith, beleif, very very hard work and many more things.She sounded like she even took away her own quality time to work hard and strive for her goal.nWell hope you take my advice and happen to love this book. ...
