Train To Win: 11 Principles of Athletic Success Paperback – August 4, 2002

I like the concept of the book as Rooney pinpoints the essential keys to be a great coach.

One of the best training books I've read. Easy to read with a million gems. Will keep going back to this book throughout my life. Mr. Rooney is a bright guy who motivates you to do your best. He's practical and able to convey messages in easy to relate manner. I highly recommend this book to every human.

Tremendous gains from this book. Coach Martin Rooney did a tremendous job with stories, information on all aspects of improving athleticism

Great book. This is an amazing training philosophy that gives a different perspective than most people

Basic concept: Get your priorities together and figure out how to make yourself better. Get away from all the crap that's not important. Excellent read

This is a no frills approach to success in not just athletics but life in my humble opinion. This is a great learning tool to have for any coach, athlete or someone wanting to just better themselves overall. Many thanks to Mr. Rooney for sharing his knowledge with us.

This is an excellent book with tons of information on how to create your own training program.The principles in the book are 100% and it is from these principles that you can design your own regime based on your own strengths/weaknesses and demands of your sport.The book covers nutrition, workout length, periodisation, variety, economy, amongst other things but one of the real assets of the book is the plethora of inspiring quotes and anecdotes that will you to take and use these principles to create a program to put yourself a class above the rest. Train smart, buy this book, train to win!As a sidenote, I purchased this book along with Training for Warriors: the Team Renzo Gracie Workout.Both books are top notch, whether you train martial arts or not, the Warriors book is a great way to see the principles in action and the workouts entailed can be tailored to any sport or training regime. As a combo, these book are unbeatable value.

This is a book who's principals can be used for any athlete. From the pro to casual and from basketball to Mixed Martial Arts and beyond. To many athletes buy a couple body-building magazines and take the workouts from those magazines and implement them into their training for their sport. With no real knowledge why they are doing these workouts other than some pro athlete listed it as what they do. Without knowing what you are trying to accomplish and how to do it you're certain to fail. This book is a great step in the right direction.
