7. Paragraph 4: 'As a researcher and translator, Yessis made available for an English-speaking audience an array of significant Soviet books and journals created by the Soviet sports-scientists beginning in 1961, including Yuri Verkhoshansky, creator of the ‘shock method’ of training, later to be

1. A list of the athletes Michael Yessis ('M.Y') has worked with is presented in the 1st paragraph, then again in the 6th paragraph. I think once is enough. By mentioning them all straight away it seems to be more like an advertisement than an article. Surely what he has done is more important

8. Paragraph 4: consider changing 'and strength coaches to the Soviet Union' to 'Soviet strength coaches' as 'Dr. Yessis was a leader of a group of athletes, sports coaches, and strength coaches to the Soviet Union to study at the Moscow State Institute of Physical Culture.'= Does not flow very

This article is part of a series of interconnected articles created by one individual that rely very heavily on sources related to Michael Yessis. Because of the potential conflict of interest and reliance on a single source, this article should be examined for in terms of neutral point of view.
561:
2. In the 2nd paragraph you note that Fred Wilt AND M.Y coined the term plyometrics, however on the 'plyometrics' wiki it only mentions Fred. I do not have access to the book (ref #4: Wilt, Fred & Yessis, Michael. Soviet Theory, Technique and Training for Running and Hurdling. Vol 1.
603:
12. Paragraph 7: 'Richmond University head strength and conditioning coach Jay DeMayo is currently using Yessis’ system.', Is this really necessary? I'm sure a very large amount of universities are using similar plyometric systems. Why is it worth mentioning that Richmond does?
562:
Championship Books, 1984.). In the interest of objectivity, one of these two conflicting pages should be changed. It was either coined by Fred Wilt alone (as stated on the plyometrics page) or by both Fred Wilt and M.Y (as stated on the M.Y page).
607:
13. Paragraph 7: 'Yessis is currently training former NFL All-Pro Tim Green’s son Troy Green (Skaneateles High School, New York) in preparation for college.', Shouldn't this be in paragraph 6 with the other 'celebrity mentions'?
596:
10. Paragraph 5: 'Yessis was chief editor for two well-established academic journals and senior editor for a Weider Publication.'= Unnecessary, as the paragraph goes on to repeat itself. Again, more like an advertisement.
