Istvan “Steve” Javorek’s top 4 training tips
Istvan “Steve” Javorek is famous for his book and methodology of training with complexes.
Here are 4 nuggets of training advice that I gleaned from a 2 day workshop with him 3 years ago:

- The S&C coach should set up the testing\ evaluation programmes, not the sports coach.
