foreword
Since 1972 I know Karl-Heinz Drygalsky, called "Driggi" by all. As a player, I wasn't exactly enthusiastic at first about his "decathlete methods" of warming up, gymnastics, and conditioning work. But already after a short time I swung onto his wave, because I recognized that good gymnastic exercises prepared me well and reduced the risk of injury considerably. I got to know the advantages of this targeted advanced training in particular after my severe ankle fracture in August 1978. At that time, many people predicted the end of my career, but thanks to "Driggi" I returned to the football field half a year later.
As a coach, I now rate the importance of gymnastics even higher. So I took over suggestions for gymnastics from "Driggi" in various forms and am fully convinced that gymnastic exercises are indispensable for modern football training from youth to professional football.
In Gerd Thissen, "Driggi" has found an ideal partner and excellent expert to put his experiences on paper and expand them.
This book contains suggestions for the gymnastic training work of each performance class. The exercises are comprehensibly explained and supplemented by many practical tips. They refer to the manifold requirements of modern football games. Therefore I can only recommend this book for every library! It is interesting and useful for coaches, trainers and active players alike.
