Reviews for Yoga for Every Athlete: Secrets of an Olympic Coach (Llewellyn's Strategies for Success) (Paperback) Having had Aladar as a fencing coach, I can say that he definitely knows what he's talking about. In fencing, one's muscles tend to develop unevenly (the front arm and leg work harder than the others) and yoga helps even them out and keep you balanced. It is also a good practice to come down from the athletic high that you can get after competition. The mindful practice of these exercises keeps you balanced as an athlete, as well as a person.
Reviews for Yoga for Every Athlete: Secrets of an Olympic Coach (Llewellyn's Strategies for Success) (Paperback) I am actively retired and a very good, goal oriented skier. My background was hi tech where I was a lead manager at (perhaps) the most significant R&D Company of all time (Bolt Beranek and Newman - inventors of all things Internet). I mention this only since designing and then implementing networks is an exercise based on process understanding as the basis for detailed system design. So as I pursue my effort to become the best bump skier on my local mountains (Aspen Colorado) I am very focused on first understanding and then designing my training program ... toward which my current skills assessment is

a) coordination and active skills - very good
b) aerobic capabilities - good to very good
c) strength - so so to good ('HIT' weight training at the gym focused
mostly on quads and hamstrings)
d) flexibility - Horrid (I hate stretching)

But, I am anything if not committed so my chosen vehicle this year is Yoga and since I am skilled at process design and following a long search of so many books on yoga as it relates to sports improvement my review)

This is the best of so many books bought, scanned and then retired to my many book cases - most likely never to be read again. What makes it the best

1) It is written by an author who used the techniques recorded to
accomplish specific goals. Aladar Kogler is a PH.D. was trained under
in Czechoslovakia under the soviet systems (for my money the best in
the world) where he coached the highly successful Czechoslovakian
Fencing Team before escaping to U.S.
Reviews for Yoga for Every Athlete: Secrets of an Olympic Coach (Llewellyn's Strategies for Success) (Paperback) I don't have much to add to the insightful comments made by Mr. Weinstein above. This is the most valuable sport-training book that I own, period. Not only for fencers. Very highly recommended.
