Though provoking – a must read for anyone working with young athletes

Jones, Norman L. et. al. (1986) Human Muscle Power. Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics Publishing Company.

Even though it is twenty years still good information. It has stood the test of time.

Kellmann, M. (Editor) Enhancing Recovery: Preventing Underperformance in Athletes, Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics. 2002

So far the only book on recovery. Very good overview. Some good useable information.

Outstanding, I recommend this one to everyone who wants to understand training without a bunch of Russian mumbo jumbo.

Kurz, Thomas. (1994) Stretching Scientifically – A guide to flexibility training. Third Edition. Island Pond, Vt: Stadion Publishing Company.

A classic, now updated, better than ever. For me this is a constant reference.

Lee, Bruce. Tao Of Jeet Kune Do, Santa Clarita, California: Ohara Publications, Incorporated. 1975

Written by a genius who understood movement, not traditional, but thought provoking, especially on balance. It fact it is the basic text on balance training.

Lieber, Richard L. (2002) Skeletal Muscle Structure, Function & Plasticity – The Physiological Basis of Rehabilitation. Second Edition. Philadelphia: Lippincot Williams & Wilkins.

This is a great book. Well written. Complex information with many practical applications. I try to read anything I can get my hands by this guy.

Logan, Gene A. and McKinney, Wayne C. (1970) Kinesiology. Wm. C. Brown Company Publishers.

This is the classic. These guys were so far ahead of their time it was scary. This is another constant reference for me. Now out of print. In fact this was the last edition published – 1973.
