About the Track & Field Omnibook:
No other book prepares a beginner to coach the sport like Omnibook, but also a must for veteran coaches.
by Ken Doherty who passed away in 1996.
Now its 5th edition, revised and updated (Dr. John Kernan, editor), Omnibook is the #1 textbook in track & field
A one-stop reference source for coaches covering technique, training, and coaching approaches.
Contains many new chapters with contributions from some of the leading coaching authorities in track & field.
Profusely illustrated, Omnibook is the one must-have book for veteran and novice coaches alike.
428pp.
Some material covered in this book are:
Part I is The Human Side of Coaching - Doherty's humane and sensible approach to the coach-athlete relationship has always been a hallmark of the book.
Chapter 4 profiles some of the best coaches of recent times and a couple of new ones have been added in this newest edition.
In Parts II through IV, however, much has been added and changed since the last edition.
This provides the latest ideas and methods of technique and training for each event.
When appropriate, the best minds in the track community were consulted for input.
For instance, an overview of training for the 400 meters from Clyde Hart has been included, BYU's Craig Poole contributes rhythm and speed information for the hurdles chapter, and some of David Bussabarger's excellent sequence drawings of pole vaulters illuminate that event coverage.
All event chapters are well illustrated and still include Doherty's historical analysis of how techniques developed and changed in each event over the years.
