About this title

From the Author

Concerning the javelin event
Most of my coaching experience (38 years) has been in the state of Illinois on the high school level. The javelin is not a part of our track and field program. I am presently coaching the jumps, sprints and relays on the collegiate level. Since this book is basically a survival guide for coaches on the high school level I did not feel that it was my bounden duty to include the javelin. My book's major mission is to assist coaches who are without facilities, equipment, assistant coaches or budget. I feel my book accomplishes that objective. I have read 300 books on track and field and none of them have covered EVERY aspect of track and field from A to Z. I wrote 400 pages and my editor cautioned me not write any further.I regret that you have negative feelings about my book, but I wrote what I could within the parameters that I was given.
