Book Review: Dan John Never Let Go
Entertaining read
I got this book as a birthday present (thanks to Amazon wish list!) and it is a very good read. For those of you who think you are strong, or have researched every minutiae of “sports science” I recommend you read this. Sometimes getting strong just means doing more work.
Dan writes like someone who is having a chat with you over a beer, so it is eminently readable. Thousands of hours of coaching and training experience is put into a sequence of articles that cover topics from nutrition, to self discipline to motivation.
My only disclaimer on this book for the armchair coach, is to actually do a few sessions yourself before you inflict them upon athletes.
For those of you who haven’t read Dan John’s articles on T-Nation, I would recommend you read a few.
