Unlike other books that give you simplified and obvious information or cookie cutter programs, “Engineering an Athlete” provides a detailed, but concise overview of the entire training process. Regardless of whether one is a rank novice or a seasoned pro, this book outlines what they should be doing and takes it one step further by explaining why. There is no one that “Engineering an Athlete” would not benefit.

Have you ever wondered what sets elite athletes apart from the rest of us? Wondered how they can move so smoothly, so powerfully? Is it in their muscles? Yes. Their tendons? Yes. Their psyche? Yes. “Engineering an Athlete” covers these factors and how to train them, but so do other books on the market. The difference is that this book gets to the heart of the matter and discusses the one thing that truly sets apart the winners from the also-rans: proper muscular recruitment. “Engineering an Athlete” provides a foolproof guide on how to develop this vital ability, drastically enhancing performance and reducing injury risk to virtually nil.

Also included in this text are specific routines, long and short term programming advice, exercise demonstrations with picture sequences, diagrams for equipment construction, nutritional information, tools for psychological training, performance testing criteria, tables of athletic standards, and much, much more. 

And unlike other books whose information is backed up by nothing more than the author's word, “Engineering an Athlete” references over 150 books and peer reviewed journal articles on sports science, medicine, psychology, and many other fields.

Simply put, if you're a coach or an athlete looking to really understand the training process and set yourself apart from the competition, this book is an absolute “must have.”
