The principles governing training, especially those related to water polo, remain unclear, if not contradictory. They depend on the athlete's environment, as well as national tradition, climate, social characteristics, and the predisposition of people towards the sport. This is because the basic principles remain constant, but there are many different ways to interpret them.

The work of a coach, although based on science, still remains an art. The author, who has been a coach of water polo, football, athletics, basketball, with many distinctions in Greece and abroad, tries to transmit this art through this manual.

The text of the book is accompanied by photographs and sketches that vividly explain the techniques of the sport.
