5.0 out of 5 stars The most important points of coaching are here., 14 April 1999
By A Customer
Many wrestlers and coaches may base their reviews of a coaching book on the quantity or quality of moves found within. I do believe that the book does well in this area. However, its true success is in its discussion and advice on communication, motivation, planning and developing a philosophy. It is what separates it from other "how to wrestle" books. It is a book for coaches. The basics are the most important part of wrestling, not any special tricks or throws. The edge over other teams is found in the little extras a coach can do to make sure his wrestlers are motivated to learn and to win. This book is exactly what I was looking for. I purchased this book just after the 1998-99 season, my fourth as a head high school coach. My credentials include winning Conference Titles in each of those years, coaching the first Team State qualifier from the conference in '98 and '99 and earning various state coaching awards. I am pleased I have done some of the things Gable suggests, but I believe this book can make things even better next season. Also, I haven't ever been any kind of Dan Gable die-hard, although now I understand why people are.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any serious wrestling coach!, 25 Jan 1999
By A Customer
Certainly not all coaches will agree with all of Gable's philosophies and methods. However there is so much quality insight into this legendary winner's approach that it can only make the reader improve. Take from the book what you like, ignore the rest. Every aspect of wrestling is covered, by the most successful American wrestler/coach EVER!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wrestling Bible, No stone unturned!, 21 Dec 1998
By A Customer
As a former Big Ten and NCAA Division I wrestler, I can honestly say that this book has the potential to change lives. Anyone looking for the truth about wrestling success, or success in any sport, need not look any further. If Dan Gable says its true, it is. Not only does this book demystify what goes on inside the Univ. of Iowa wrestling room, but it reinforces much of what we all know about success. Hard work equals success, and success is contagious. Dan Gable is a builder of champions, and not a day went by in my college career that I did not wish that he was in my corner. This book puts Dan Gable in your corner. Savor every word.
