Book: "Athletic Strength for Women" 
by David Oliver
-----------------
Book Overview:
-----------------
......With women’s sport performance at an 
all-time high and continuing to rise, you need 
to be faster, stronger, and more agile in 
order to compete. Yet, until now, no training 
manual has specifically addressed female 
athletes’ physiological, biomechanical, and 
anatomical needs.

......Athletic Strength for Women presents effective 
exercise prescriptions to help you build a strength 
base and then convert that strength to speed and 
power in competition. The result is not only 
better performance but also fewer injuries. 
......For example, exercises and programs for 
the lower body will improve hamstring and 
quadriceps strength ratios, providing enhanced 
takeoff power and landing strength and better 
protection for the knee. 
......More than 120 targeted exercises and drills 
are provided to improve throwing, striking, 
swinging, and other upper-body skills; 

---starting, stopping, jumping, cutting, 
turning, pivoting, and other lower-body 
maneuvers; and overall power and speed.


......Written by David Oliver, former 
strength and conditioning coach for the 
U.S. women’s soccer and basketball teams, 
and Dana Healy, department head for strength 
and conditioning at the United States Olympic
Committee, Athletic Strength for Women contains 
general fitness and sport-specific performance 
tests. These tests are accompanied by 
normative tables that enable athletes to 
gauge strengths and weaknesses against 
those of their peers and set improvement 
goals.

......The book also includes in-season, 
off-season, and preseason programs for 
all the major participation sports, including 
soccer, volleyball, basketball, field hockey, 
lacrosse, swimming, and track and field. No 
matter what your sport, prepare your body to 
perform at full potential. The programs in 
Athletic Strength for Women will help you achieve 
a new level of athleticism.
