The Complete Athletic Trainer #225889

In the multitude of physical culture counsels derived from all parts of the world, the author believes that none surpass or even equal the old-fashioned English training methods which once stood for our unassailable supremacy in the field of athletics. The American coaches, supposedly gifted with supernatural powers, freely admit that the foundation-stone of their reflected successes in recent years was laid by the teachings of the old school of England's professional athletes. These imply an adherence to simple and therefore natural health rules combined with a nice technical understanding. Nowadays, elementary details are mostly neglected or overlooked, for the reason that most of the qualified track trainers have gone out of business. They and their kind have had to seek other occupations. Some have gone to America, and many are to be found tending to the professional football teams up and down the country.
