Jack Dempsey book

Jack Dempsey bookJack Dempsey’s guide to championship fighting

Is a great book for boxers and coaches

The book is written in a colloquial 1950s fashion, and is more entertaining as a result- palooka is a phrase not often used.

The book is a good guide to training for boxers, but also for other athletes and coaches. I especially like the way Dempsey has stated that fighters are made not born, and that he has analysed his sport and written a guide on how to get better at it.

Not for him the lazy coaching analysis of “natural talent”. He offers clear advice on how to get better.

His guide to daily training for the amatuer athlete is spot on, and still relevant 60 years later.

Sean Clifford- Point Guard
I feel that training with South West Talent and James Marshall has been the best thing I've done for my basketball career so far. It has greatly improved my overall athleticism which has been a real benefit to me when on court. More importantly, however, the training has enabled me to continue playing whilst suffering from a back injury which has caused me real problems over a number of years. It has made huge improvements more recently and I am confident that I will be in good shape to play this coming season.
