Children & Sports Training by Jozef Drabik is an essential guide for anyone involved in youth athletic development. This book provides a comprehensive overview of how to progressively train children in organized sports, backed by the knowledge and methodologies of the Eastern Bloc and Soviet Union, which have not been widely shared globally.
Drabik explores the concept of "sensitive ages," which are critical periods in a child’s development where they are most responsive to training for muscle strength, speed, endurance, coordination, and flexibility. This understanding is crucial for coaches and physical educators to tailor their programs to the unique physiological and psychological needs of young athletes, avoiding the mistake of treating children as "small adults."
Endorsed by experts like Dr. Lyle J. Micheli, Director of Sports Medicine at Children's Hospital in Boston, this book is invaluable for coaches, educators, and parents looking to optimize training outcomes while protecting the health and development of young athletes.
