Steve's Review

Great introductory reference for beginning or intermediate soccer coaches. Lots of good ideas for team and club building

Intermediate to advance

This book is great but I have not had timeto finish reading. All the topics are well done.

Tom Hull - Review as Coach and Owner

Nicely organized book for any soccer coach or aspiring coach. This covers ground that some books tend to miss. We've used this in our youth clinics and drill instruction. I enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone that will be putting time into the development of athletes and/or teams. We've move onto Football in that season as many people do but there are drills that translate into other sports. This includes Basketball and Baseball as the top-3. Again this is highly recommended and can help with strategy and scoring. Very appropriate. Tom Hull Coach Binghamton New York Richmond - Central Virginia Boca Raton - Glades & Federal Highway

Superb

This book is for every soccer coach out there, at any level. It has fantastic contributions from the likes of Anson Dorrance and Steve Sampson. I am a UEFA A licensed coach, and this book was well worth me reading!

Great Collection for Coaches

This is a great collection of articles from experienced coaches and trainers - many of them well-known names. Coaches at any level will benefit from the insights offered. Topics cover a wide range from the philosophical (coaching principles and objectives) through adminstrative (club, team adn league management) and nuts and bolts (training for specific outcomes, developing training activities, fitness). The book finishes with chapters on player motivation and management as well as a look at coaching opportunites. Overall, it covers as wide a field as you can expect from any one book. On the negative side, those looking for extensive training outlines and menus of training activities will need to supplement this volume with more specific coaching books.
