This book is not geared towards me. It is geared towards coaches and elite athletes. However, it did have useful information on how to structure training plans and to utilize training intensity levels effectively. It also provided detailed plans for conditioning to improve power, endurance, and mobility. Overall an informative (but dry) read.
