from basic conditioning to advanced play development, this book will help the coach bring his players up a level. the player reading it will see improvement in their game. the drills are explained in a clear manor and will definately improve the ability of the player. the section on play making is outstanding. when teaching some of the plays to my bantam and midget players, it was like a light bulb went on in their heads when they caught on to the play. this is a must have book for any one involved in the game of hockey.

great book, recommended
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
First off, I want to say I'm a beginning hockey player and do not have other books which I can compare this one. That said I really like this book. A big emphasis is placed on conditioning, which I have found true in my games. The book seems to really make sense and Percival backs up assertions with reasons. The only drawback is that there are not a lot of pictures: If you want picture book with a frame by frame of the wrist shot for example, this is not for you.
