Overview

In the past few decades, the art and science of weightlifting has gone from being considered dangerous and unnecessary to becoming a pillar of every sport and game. The focus of this book is on basic patterns like push, pull, hinge, squat, and carry rather than chasing numbers too early. Strength training is framed as a long-term investment, where consistency and gradual progress matter more than intensity or specialization. The program also highlights the importance of enjoyment, confidence, and group accountability to keep young athletes engaged. Ultimately, the goal is to develop resilient, capable individuals who are prepared for both sport and life, not just short-term performance.

Known for reducing tangled training ideas into plain English-usually with a story about coaching, parenting, or his own spectacular mistakes-Dan travels the world teaching workshops that mix humor, insight, and a healthy dose of common sense.When he's not coaching or writing, you'll find him in Utah, gardening, lifting, reading, and trying to keep up with his grandkids-who've already outpaced his speed but haven't quite beaten his deadlift. Yet.
