| “Bijan Jiany puts passion, enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge into his first authored book, “Reach For It”. Within the pages of “Reach For It”, the athlete is focused on developing skills at an ‘optimal training age’ which will have more long-term benefits than conventional training, promoting a stronger, quicker and more focused athlete.”~ Bill & Chris Mahon (Senior Girls Basketball Coach, Athletic Director– Sutherland Secondary School) |

Simple, yet technically solid activities and advice makes this a best practice that we will share immediately with our provincial network. Congratulations!” ~ Jennifer Fenton (Action Schools BC) |
