Education & Reference Sport & Recreation
Jeff Huber’s SpringBoard and Platform Diving Unlimited International is the go-to illustrated textbook for divers, coaches, and poolside hobbyists who want Olympic-level technique without the splashy jargon. Published by Human Kinetics in 2016, this 312-page paperback blends biomechanics, safety protocols, and step-by-step photos to turn backyard board enthusiasts into confident competitors.
The book walks readers through take-off angles, aerial positions, and entry secrets for both springboard and platform events, making it a practical reference for young adults and adult athletes alike. Crisp diagrams and sequential shots demystify complex flips and twists, while coaching cues help instructors spot errors before they become habits.
This used copy shows only light cover scuffing; inside, the pages are clean, unmarked, and tightly bound—ready for quick thumb-throughs on deck or quiet study at home. At just under a kilo, it slips easily into a kitbag yet packs enough weight to serve as a lifetime diving manual.
