This book explains the advanced, multi-year training system developed by the Soviets which is still in use today. It is employed not only by the Russians, but former Soviet republics, Germany, other European nations and China.

Although the original research and training practices were written and developed over thirty years ago, the methods and practical experiences have only partially been incorporated in the U.S. Today many coaches and athletes are actively seeking this information.

This book refutes the common myth that Soviet sports successes were due to money, drugs, and robbing the cradles of young athletes. This sophisticated system was remarkable in its ability to effectively develop an athlete’s full potential.
