Coaching Instincts In Track and Field

Learn from the best- its all here! I love how this book breaks coaching down into its simplest and most important functions. It makes me want to not only be a better athlete, but a better person.

This book is a must read for coaches and athletes in all sports not just track and field.

This unique book will guide coaches and athletes to organize and motivate their athletes and themselves to higher levels of excellence.

Coach Hessel's wisdom and insights are unparalleled in the coaching profession.

John McKenzie, former track coach at University of North Texas and TCU

I recommend this book for anyone who is new to the world of track and field. My son just started track and this book provided me a ton of insight. As a former college tennis coach, I especially enjoyed the coaching stories Coach Hessel shares in the book.

It may seem odd that an author of a book would write a review on ones own book. However, I am absolutely confident that every coach and every parent will gain tremendous insight into the sport of track and field for both the high school and collegiate ranks by reading this book

Del G. Hessel Author

I had the opportunity to have Del Hessel as my college coach in the early '70s. Even then, he was a tremendous coach. Personally, he completely changed my life through application of his principle of "Learning to Try Harder". I have stayed connected with Coach Hessel through the years, and have watched with admiration the results of his coaching and leadership skills on athletes and teams alike. Anyone involved in the coaching of track and field will benefit from this book. It is packed with knowledge, experience, and wisdom. You will be a better coach if you read it!

Coach Hessel has written a concise Track and Field Primer to be used by athletes, Athletic Directors, coaches and parents.
Coach Hessel has been around. Everywhere that he has been he has been highly successful. He has that vitality, knowledge, and most importantly, he knows how to motivate and bring out the best in young people.
If you walked closely with Coach Hessel around the vast array of athletes and coaches at the Olympic Trials you'd be amassed at the adulation, respect and recognition given Del by coaches, athletes and sponsors. Surely, some of his secret methods that led to great success are found in this book. Gary Shepard, former athlete, University Track record holder, Colonel USAF.
