From another coach
I've started looking over this book and Gary Barber has done a great job of capturing what is really needed with starting kids in athletics.Far too man of the "coaches" kids encounter today are ready to have them go pro at any cost.

Gary has done a great job at putting forward the development and making it fun.Assuring that the childs experience is rewarding yet still providing the desire to go higher.A very good piece of work, you should adapt it to the baseball, football and soccer coaches as well. ... Read more

Kinesiology Student Review
I was initially asked to review the book for an introductory athletic injury class, and to compare and contrast with Pfeiffer & Mangus': "Concepts of Athletic Training," by the same publisher. Despite the fact that "Guide" is only slightly more than half the size of "Concepts," "Guide" is better written, has more concrete examples of mechanisms of injury and rehabilitation contexts, and is willing to commit to practical guidelines of care. Plus, "Guide" is cheaper.

"Concepts" does have some bright spots: the chapter on liability is very good, and the positional statement from the National Athletic Trainer's Association on Exertional Heat Illnesses is nice. However, the main text of "Concepts" is windy, vague, and unrewarding to sift through for these gains. The ideal book to my mind would be a graft of the two, and as soon as I get a razor in my hand, "Guide" is going to interleaved with scraps from "Concepts."

As an overview text, I quite like Eaves' "Guide." I am going to supplement it on my shelves with a more detailed text on taping, wrapping and padding, and I did find myself dipping into Werner's "A Massage Therapist's Guide to Pathology" for more detailed signs, symptoms and etiology. I would put the reading level of this book somewhere between the first and second year of undergraduate studies, depending on the rigor of the department. ... Read more

There are many high school athletes with the talent to play college sports but they fail to do so. Why? They fall through the cracks because they don't understand how the recruiting process works and they don't realize how they can control their own destiny! Don't become one of them! ... Read more
