Iron Works Preparation: The Best Way to Prepare for Football

If you are reading this review then you are someone who, like myself and Ryan, is ever searching for avenues to better implement physical preparation for the improvement of sport form. Being one who is very familiar with the works of Coach Morris and having discussed training with Ryan Williams on prior occassions, I was extremely intrigued to find that a conglomeration of their thoughts had been put to print.Being well seasoned in this craft, I know many systems of training work, and there is no one way. However, there is always a better way, for each individual, at any given time. In order to determine such, one must understand the why’s and how’s of the body’s response to different stimuli. Ryan and Buddy explain these inner workings in the first half of their book, such that the reader is able to modify any system currently used in a positive direction. Doing so is only possible once this understanding is attained and its principles then applied. The value of that information alone will make anyone a better coach/athlete.Ryan and Buddy are attempting to bring us BACK to the initial purpose of non-sport oriented training…getting better at your sport. A goal which has been too long overshadowed by an obsession with pure strength training and measurable performance goals that are glorified only by media and misunderstanding. This shift in mindset alone is enough reason to purchase the book.The book also offers what many look for from such a purchase, an example program to follow. Said program can then be implemented immediately and can/should be modified based on YOUR response to it. In order to truly examine your improvement in sport performance, a battery of applicable tests is provided as well. These tests will ensure that you are improving as a FOOTBALL player/athlete, and not just a weightlifter.I personally thank Ryan and Buddy for taking the time to help others in their quest to become all that their genetic potential allows for.

It's a good training book, but it stops there. There's a lack of detail about the exercises (we're all supposed to know what a lot of acronyms mean), confusing nomenclature about the exercise prescription, which only gets explained near the end of the book, a lot of not scientifically backed advice and most of the book is just spreadsheets with sample training programs. Maybe if this was an e-book with downloadable excel spreadsheets, it would get another star on this review.

This is a great book for any strength coach or personal trainer who deals with field sport athletes.It was great to read through the programmes and see how they put the information together for real world athletes. In an age of Internet gurus, it was great to see the balance of art and science that can only be gained from years actually training athletes. A must read

A must read for any performance coach who works with American Football players.

This book galvanized my son from a young boy into a man. Thanks to this he has a full football scholarship and has created good habits for life!! Won’t regret buying

This book is the GOAT. If Harry Potter and Game of Thrones had a baby, and that baby was into fitness, being healthy, and being a stud athlete, this would be that baby.

This book is a must read for all coaches and anybody looking to add valuable training content to their knowledge...Yes this book is directed towards the sport of football, but the information provided in this book can be applied to other sports as well! Buddy Morris is one of the best Strength & Conditioning Coaches in this country and when he speaks we all should be listening...Written alongside him in this book is Ryan Williams, who is an extremely intelligent young Strength & Conditioning Coach who can compliment Buddy to provide one of the very few great football training sources you can find out there today!
