Today professional sports are based on strength and speed. We can only assume at what level athleticism will be in the professional sport in 5-10 years, when many young athletes who are now starting will finish their youth sports journey.

But we can already say that at that moment, the years of mastering and perfecting sports skills (dribbling, shooting, serving, spiking, smashing, ...) necessary to play a certain sport, will not be a guarantee for a successful career. They will need much more than a perfect sport skill…

Changes in top-level sports, where ever faster and stronger athletes are sought, occur at the same time as the test results of motor abilities and sports skills of children and young people are getting poorer.

Experts have come to the conclusion that practicing organised sports cannot compensate for the lack of movement during the day, which is increasingly present in nowadays young generations.

Children nowadays spend a lot of time sitting at home and playing computer games, making contact with each other through social networks, while in the past they made this contact through playing
on the street.

And it was the very play with peers whenever and wherever possible that enabled previous generations to develop the so-called spontaneous motor skills together with the underlaying motor abilities.

However, there are fewer and fewer such optional activities in the daily schedule of our children. What can and must you do?

This is revealed to you by The formula for success in sports.

FOR COACHES, STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING SPECIALISTS AS WELL FOR ANYONE PARTICIPATING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG ATHLETES AGED 6-18 YEARS

All the texts in the 'Formula for Success in Sports' are supported by (modern) scientific facts, as well as the author's own reflections, teaching us to add 2 and 2 ourselves and not do something just because the majority does it. As soon as I picked up the book, it carried me as if it were a novel rather than professional literature. It is written carefully, systematically, reads easily, and opens new spheres of thinking, all in favor of the quality and long-term development of young athletes. I am pleased to know that in our region, we have such quality literature. I hope it will be translated into other languages, and that there are more success formulas waiting for us!

After allowing most of our members to study the book 'Formula for Success in Sports 1' in these three months, we received only positive reactions from our coaches working with younger age groups. Some of them have used the same or similar exercises before, but they did not have such a methodical approach to exercises as shown in the book. Football, as a multi-complex sport, requires daily improvement of coaches, so the book 'Formula for Sports Success 1' allowed us insight into some new knowledge and their application in the training process.

My junior career, actually the entire path from the beginning of playing tennis, is intertwined and filled with various experiences and decisions that can help me and others find the highest quality "formula" for creating long-term training processes. Considering the above, the books 'Formula for Success in Sports' educates the reader in every way on how to structure the developmental processes of individual sports, when to start and how to start with them. I think the content has a lot of necessary information for athletes, coaches, and parents.

If you want to stand out and aim for the top, it is necessary to constantly improve your knowledge and keep up with new trends. As a coach in daily contact with athletes of all age, I always look for literature on a topic that is crucial but often underrepresented in both theory and practice.

The books "Formula for Sports Success" 1 and 2 offer a thorough analysis of a very important topic: the approach to training young athletes aged 9 to 18. I believe that this type of literature can raise awareness among coaches and make them realize how important secondary training and activities are for a young athlete to achieve success in their senior years.

I look forward to seeing new content from Igor Macner soon, which will be refreshing for those of us working in this field. I am confident that it will cover interesting and useful topics with a professional approach, as before.

I would certainly commend the book 'Formula for Success in Sports 1'. I am currently ordering the second part.

Working with children has been neglected; it is almost impossible to obtain literature. Personally, I ordered a lot of CDs online, bought various books, but all focused on working with seniors. Even the football academy bases 90% of its lectures on working with seniors, who are already established players and are easier to work with (it is assumed that they have undergone basic training).

Working with children is a different story, and that's why the book is a real refreshment. Alongside sports training, pedagogy and psychology prevail, and timely involvement in sports and working in the right way is a prerequisite for building an athlete and a person.

Excerpts from the books intrigued me, so I decided to buy them, and I must admit that I am extremely satisfied with the information presented...

The thought that particularly occupied me, in addition to well-processed components from the world of motor abilities and skills (dynamic warm-up, nutrition - a hit!!!) , is the awareness that today's kids PLAY LESS AND LESS and start serious training earlier, entering sports with much greater commitment than previous generations (and have a much larger choice unlike previous generations). The demands in sports placed on them are increasingly intense; they achieve top results earlier andf injuries are more frequent.

I think the books 'Formula for Success in Sports 1 and 2' are ideal resource generally for all sports professionals to approach sports individuals and their (real) needs more sensibly. Every coach can find drills on YouTube today; sensitivity and understanding of children's growth are important.

Kruno, I'm glad to hear that the development of new content for the training of young athletes is starting soon. The books "Formula for Sports Success 1" and "Formula for Sports Success 2" are readings I would recommend to everyone: coaches, students, and especially athletes who want to improve their motor skills and, consequently, their performance.

In modern sports, it is simply impossible to achieve the highest achievements without such books. Therefore, I warmly recommend to everyone who wants to know their way to sports success to include these two books in their collection, as the journey will undoubtedly be more challenging without them.

I hope that you will soon delight us all with new insights into the world of the development of young athletes because knowledge is never enough. All the best to everyone!
