The Foundations of
Physical Preparation book introduces you to Ian King’s unique
and high successful perspectives on physical preparation.
It commences with
applied theory such as energy systems, the neuromuscular system,
the hormonal system, teaches training principles and variables,
defines and describes the dominant physical qualities, and
provides training methodology for each; and introduces
supporting issues such as recovery methods, sleep, nutrition and
personal development.
The Foundations
book aims to provide accessible and flexible professional
development for the physical preparation consultant based on a
balanced presentation of all the physical qualities, in the
absence of commercial, cultural or political influences, and in
recognition of the global economy of the new millennium.
To fully
understand and appreciates Ian’s more advanced methods and
concepts, you will find this overview an invaluable stepping
stone. A true foundation upon which to base your future
learning.

Ian, The Foundations program has been outstanding.
You are exactly right to make this a "prerequisite" for
your other courses and seminars. I came upon you
quite by accident and at first sought only information
that I thought I needed. I pulled info "out of
order" - (Complete Strength Spec. Course first then
seminar (GB) then purchase of other material.) In
short, while completing FPP I gained a greater
appreciation of material I studied "out of order".
Its amazing how much I've learned by reviewing same
material after FPP as compared to before. On a
larger scale I discovered that I truly need a broader
perspective from which to learn and not a narrow focus.
Many thanks for a great experience. Thanks!

Your
material has had a major impact on the way I conduct all of
my training sessions. I have been a coach for over 20
years and have had some of the same ideas and I am glad
you are getting the information out. Thanks for making
me think again!

I am really enjoying
these lessons. It is helping me realize that there is
definitely more to the athlete's success than meets the
eye.

The Foundations course is an excellent course for those
wishing to gain an understanding of the factors that
contribute to athletic performance and physical
preparation. It should be the minimum for anyone
involved in the prep/training of athletes or teams,
especially those students studying for degrees that will
leave you high and dry when it comes the actual physical
training of the athlete and implementation of effective
results-producing training programs.
--Mitchell
I can truly see your
passion for training through your materials. My
hat is off to you! I’m so excited I started the
Foundations of Physical Preparation course. I
can’t say enough about your materials thus far.
