Complete Athletic Trainer (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Complete Athletic Trainer<br><br>In regard to the terms and routine of the training here presented the writer has merely set forth that which would best serve a seasoned professional athlete who could devote all his time and energies to a fairly strict daily routine. This is of course impossible to all but the select few.<br><br>The average athlete only able to spare an hour or so in the early mornings or evenings will naturally take a longer period (and train even more gradually) to prepare himself to arrive at his best state. He is of a class to whom natural physical exercise in the Open air means every thing - and he should miss no real Opportunity of practising either the training exercises (shown in another chapter) or his particular form of athletics.<br><br>Boys and youths under twenty years of age (at the least) must be content with much less ex acting work until they are grown up to manhood. They only need to practise without exerting themselves severely to find style and get a grasp of things. The rest will come later on.<br><br>I cheerfully acknowledge the hints and suggestions that I have received from my old friends Charles Ransom and Harry Perry in the preparation of this work.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
