Frederick Annesley Michael Webster (1886-1949) was a British athletics coach and author, and soldier active during World War One.

He wrote profusely on the subject of athletics, with his best known book being "Athletics in Action" (1931).

Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.

It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
