John and others, It's been a long time since I saw them, but I remember watching the Seagrave (published with a co-writer) videos on speed that are availible through track nd field news and being very, impressed with them. For a middle distance runner at least, they were eye openers. It helped tremendously to have a video format.
Obviously there are many on this list far more qualified than I and can recommend more esoteric works, but if this guy is at the starting point of a novice, I think these are excellent begining points. They also deal with (are aimed at in part and use as examples) high school athletes for a good portion of the videos.
