I remember when as a kid ski racing at Snowshoe in the '80s some of our team took a trip to WVU to do VO2 tests. It was quite an experience. The campus has amazing athletic facilities.Earlier this year I came across the above work by Dieffenbach and McCauley reading one of Sam's posts on Cycling Dirt. Dieffenbach is an athletic coaching education professor at WVU and is a coach as well. Bike Racing for Juniors (Velo Press 2008, 392 pp) is well written. The work covers such aspects of junior cycling (road, cross, mountain) as nutrition, skills, injuries, developing mental skills, and being a parent of junior cyclists and athletes.
This book is another tool in the kit. Children develop their own enthusiasm in areas that appeal to them.
