as a strength coach, id highly recommnd this book to all coaches, athletes, trainers, if ur gonna be successful in the field u not only NEED be knowledgeable in only sport & exercise but essential diciplines (i.e anatomy, phsiology, bio-chem. ect.) this is the book that provides ONE of those essentials through "PHYICS" classical/Newtonian physics-mechanics & its perspective in sports. u have 2 be a big bio mechanics geek 4 this 1 (personally i love it)
This is brilliant for students!
