This book offers easy to follow guidleines and recommendations for the design and implementation of strength training and fitness workouts for youth and adolescents 7 to 18 years of age.

It is a must read and resource manual and belongs on everyone's book shelf who work with youth and adolescents in strength training and fitness programs.
Review: Just what we needed! - We've been looking for a book to help train our 11 year old, who plays two sports competitively; football and baseball. He was interested in adding weight/resistance workouts to his training regimen. This book provided the advice we needed to start him off on correctly. As a bonus, practical advice on equipment... even instructions to make your own 'medicine ball'. I would definitely recommend this book for young athletes. The advice is sound and the author is reputable. It was definitely worth ordering.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, minus a couple of sections!
*by S***E on September 30, 2009*

I have most of the books from Wayne Westcott and agree with most of his recommendations. This particular title is just a bit different, although I don't believe that the issue is with Wayne as much as it is with his co-author. Wayne has always promoted sensible and productive strength training based on the form of training commonly referred to as HIT or High Intensity Training. Safety is at the forefront of HIT and most of this book follows suit. However, there are a few sections of the book that promote methods that are somewhat questionable in regards to safety. This includes olympic lifts, plyometrics, and various medicine ball exercises. There is also a section on periodization which is an overly-complex philosophy that has little application to the average youth that needs to improve his or her fitness nor do I believe that it is applicable to youth athletes. Given the fact that Wayne has never promoted some of these methods before leads me to believe that it's the work of Avery instead of Wayne. That being said, this is a pretty good overall book but it could have been better if Wayne had written it by himself. I would recommend this title as a starting point for teaching kids how to effectively build strength. However, I would suggest avoiding the potentially unsafe exercises presented.
