The narration was very stilted, even for a book of this type. The content, however, was excellent. I’m just about to begin listening a second time through as there’s so much to take in!

Well written and narrated, I will re-listen to this book at some point and take notes as I found it went into a lot of used details on a variety of training techniques, backed up with easy to understand examples and studies.
