Beschreibung:
Dr. Bob Ward was born on the Fourth of July, the son of a World War I veteran and was partly raised in an orphanage. Ward became a self-made man and one of the most important players in the evolution of professional sports. A former small college athlete, Ward learned by doing. He played. He coached. He trained.
When the Dallas Cowboys hired Dr. Bob Ward to update and modernize their strength and conditioning program, he became the first full-time conditioning coach in the National Football League. What he installed was revolutionary. His concepts, theories, and models based on science and extensive use of "analytics" would transform the NFL and soon be adopted by nearly every other team in professional sports. From back cover.
