(More customer reviews)I would rate this book and dvd higher if I could! I purchased it to help my 10 year old son develop better strength, speed and agility for football season. He plays center and nose tackle and is a little over 5 feet tall and about 125 lbs. Last year (his first playing tackle football), he didn't have great movement and didn't make many tackles. After going through this program in 6 weeks, he took almost a full second off his 25 yard dash time, added 8 inches to his standing broad jump and 3 inches to his vertical leap.
The system consists of 3 progressive levels of 15 exercises each: bronze, silver and gold. Any child could comfortably start with the bronze level and move on to silver in 2 or 3 weeks. The authors recommend 2 sessions per week with adequate rest between sessions. Each session took us between 30 minutes and an hour to complete, depending on the number of sets used for each exercise. The exercises are thoroughly explained in the book, but you also get the added bonus of the dvd which clearly demonstrates each exercise. My son and I both had fun with the program and will use it again for off season training.
