Power The Training Of Champions

Power is the quality that separates good athletes from great ones. In POWER: The Training of Champions, Antonio Squillante combines more than a decade of experience in strength and conditioning with over 15 years in academia to provide coaches and athletes with a comprehensive guide to evidence-based strength training for sport.

Drawing from both classic and modern sports science research, Squillante bridges the gap between theory and practical application. The book references foundational work from respected researchers including Häkkinen, Komi, and Verkhoshansky, while incorporating modern insights from leaders such as Comfort, Stone, and Haff. The result is a practical resource that helps coaches understand not only what works, but why it works.

Designed for real-world application, POWER: The Training of Champions explores the training methods that have shaped successful strength programs across multiple sports. Readers will gain practical guidance on implementing the Maximum Effort Method, Dynamic Effort Method, Repeated Effort Method, Velocity-Based Training, Periodization, and the Conjugate Method into well-rounded athletic development programs.

Rather than focusing on a single philosophy, the book presents scientifically supported strategies that allow coaches to build individualized programs based on the specific demands of each athlete and sport. Whether developing explosive power, maximal strength, or long-term athletic performance, readers will find practical tools that can be applied immediately.

Written by one of the leading experts in strength training for sport, this resource serves as both an educational reference and a practical programming guide for coaches working with athletes at every level of competition.

Built around the elitefts values of Focus, Trust, and Strength, POWER: The Training of Champions helps coaches and athletes continue to Live, Learn, Pass On by combining proven training methods with modern sports science.
