THE CHAOS MANUAL TESTIMONIALS
”There are very few books that can have a profound impact upon training and coaching that the Chaos Training Manual does. The Chaos Training manual is the first book that I've read in a while that has taught me different coaching cues and methods immediately. Jim Smith's ingenuity and creativity are worth it alone. There are literally hundreds of different exercises and variations to improve the basic exercises that we already perform everyday.
Jim goes into depth about why he uses different methods and how Chaos Training will help bring your athletes to a higher level of performance on the field...because that's the only place it really matters. The manual is a must read and must have for any serious coach. I'm sure it will be something that I will continue to reference over the years.”

”The Chaos Training Manual is one of the best text to come out in a long time. The comprehensive nature of the manual makes it a must for new and experienced strength coaches. Implementing the ripper series with our athletes has done wonders in helping our guys to handle and deal with multiple external forces. Their improved performance on the court and on the field is a direct result of Jim and the Diesel Crew's hard work. The Chaos Training Manual should be in every strength coaches library.”

"Smitty, you've created a resource for coaches, athletes, and guys simply interested in the challenge of improving their strength and performance. The Chaos manual is not manual that you just read and put on the bookshelf. It's something that the owner will find himself referencing regularly to give his training the optimal progression and variation to maximize performance or to simply review the foundational knowledge that applies to all strength and power-trained athletes. This is THE supplementary training manual."
Bill Hartman
As a professional strength and conditioning coach I’m always on a lookout for information on effective ways to train my athletes and myself. I have met with coach Smitty on a few seminars and I liked a lot of the ideas that he presented. He is also the guy that walks the walk and not just doing the talking. So when he came out with his new Chaos manual, as soon as I saw the table of content, I immediately jumped on the opportunity to learn more about his innovative training methods.
The Chaos manual did not disappoint! I had an opportunity to see athletic preparation from a new, innovative perspective and I was able to learn a great deal of practical information that I could immediately plug in into my training. Most importantly, the whole thing is tied up into a SYSTEM, which makes its implementation easy. Another thing that I liked about the Chaos manual is that it makes your creativity soar and you start looking at old exercises from new angles, making them tougher and better adapting them to your individual needs. In short, I would highly recommend the Chaos manual to any athlete or coach that is looking to take their game to the next level.”

”Chaos Training is the manual for the coaches-coach. The guy who sees the good and bad of the current status quo.
We’re pouring out more bigger, faster and stronger athletes than ever before. But being a weight room or testing God isn’t all there is to it; not by a long shot. If it were so, we’d settle all the contests in the weight room versus on the field. Training science and practice has evolved, but unfortunately, something is still missing.
Enter Chaos Training.
Chaos Training takes the good things from the weight room, infuses it with author Jim Smith’s creativity, and takes it to the Nth degree. Rather than simply rehashing old material, it bridges the gap from the performance gains you see in the weight room and makes them more readily available within your given sport.
At some point in your athletic or coaching career, you’ll see that there’s only so much raw horsepower you can give someone; whether that’s in the form of more speed, strength or power. The next step, the next level, is being able to utilize more of what you’ve got. That’s why Chaos Training is going to be a reference manual for me for years to come.”
