m & Nationa! Westminster Bank Sport С EL24 Wrestling Coaching Books in the Series National Westminster Bank is sponsoring a comprehensive series of sport coaching programmes, involving colour sound filmstrips and illustrated coaching books. The books, based on the film strip series, were edited and approved by the appropriate national governing bodies for sport, with assistance from The Sports Council. Because the books are based on an audio-visual medium, every technique described is photographically illustrated in great detail, which makes for easier understanding. To help assess comprehension, there are questions at the end of every chapter. The aim of the books is not to produce or groom champions, but to help participants of any age, either to learn the fundamentals of their chosen sport, or to become more skilful, and hence get greater enjoyment from the sport.

This series of booklets provides a valuable introduction to learning the skills of many popular sports and forms a part of the audio-visual pro­ grammes. The filmstrips and booklets have been prepared in co-operation with the national coaches for each sport. All coaches and others concerned in introducing sport, especially to new­ comers, will welcome this series and commend the producers and the National Westminster Bank, who have given their support to this w orthw hile project.
