| Publisher Description: "Coaching and Care of Athletes" is a 1938 guide to teaching athletics written by F. A. M. Webster. Designed for athletics coaches, it offers detailed information and instructions on how to coach an athlete based on the experiences of an expert athletics coach. Frederick Annesley Michael Webster (1886 - 1949) was a British athletics coach and author, and soldier active during World War One. He wrote profusely on the subject of athletics, with his best known book being "Athletics in Action" (1931). Contents include: "The Significance of Modern Records", "The Genesis of Coaching", "The English Sumer School Method", "The Qualities of a Coach", "Coaching Education", "Handling the Athlete", "Coaching Organization and Routine", "Making a Champion", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on athletics. |
