Book Review: Dan John Never Let Go
I got this book as a birthday present (thanks to Amazon wish list!) and it is a very good read. For those of you who think you are strong, or have researched every minutiae of “sports science” I recommend you read this. Sometimes getting strong just means doing more work.
Dan writes like someone who is having a chat with you over a beer, so it is eminently readable. Thousands of hours of coaching and training experience is put into a sequence of articles that cover topics from nutrition, to self discipline to motivation.
My only disclaimer on this book for the armchair coach, is to actually do a few sessions yourself before you inflict them upon athletes.
For those of you who haven’t read Dan John’s articles on T-Nation, I would recommend you read a few.

Client Testimonials
I started working with James 3 years ago via the TASS programme. When James first met me, physically I was nowhere the best I could be. Since working with James I have seen vast improvements in my fitness and strength which has been put into great use on court. Each session is worked around making sure I am able to get the best quality training as well as catering for my chronic pain and fatigue levels. On top of this James has always been happy to meet at facilities that are best for myself meaning I could fit training sessions in on route to tournaments or camps.
