When you were a kid, playing sports was everything, and you strived to make that game-winning goal or buzzer-beating shot. Athleticism is something you trained hard for, and it shouldn't stop as you age. Now you can preserve that feeling of exaltation with Train Like a Pro: Programming to Develop Your Inner Athlete.

Renowned strength and conditioning coach Matthew S. Ibrahim equips you with the understanding, the guidance, and all the tools you need to create training programs that mirror those of today's top competitive athletes. Focusing on long-term growth, this book will give you access to training programs for steady progression, taking a whole-body approach to building athleticism and improving performance. While other training systems leave out critical components, this book incorporates the sprint, agility, and mobility work that encompass holistic athletic performance training:
  • 132 exercises with modifications
  • 4 comprehensive training programs
  • 66 warm-up drills
You'll learn about basic training principles, change of direction skills, reactive agility, conditioning, and so much more. You can pick one of the provided programs or use Ibrahim's guidance to build an individualized training program that meets your needs.

Competitive athletes aren't the only ones who want to tap into their athletic potential. Ibrahim knows this, and he's on a mission to help people cultivate body control and feel their very best. The approach he's developed prioritizes not only building strength, power, and speed but also improving the following:
  • Joint mobility
  • Muscle flexibility
  • Stamina
  • Endurance
  • Conditioning
  • Multidirectional movement skills
  • Recovery
Simply put, Train Like a Pro takes the guesswork out of developing athleticism. Accessible programs and a holistic approach make this the perfect tool for leveling up your training.
