A sage shares...

Though the book goes over various common tactics and techniques (always useful), what I liked most about the book is the is the philosophies of the author. Precepts of good coaching don't change. A quality coach like Yeagley reafirms what I'm trying to do is right when sometimes I'm unsure. Any good coach would want this book as a barometer check.

Very good for learning the general strategy of soccer.

Yeagley is the coach at Indiana University (that just won the 1998 NCAA Championship). In the book, he talks about in a general way you attack and defend as a team. A lot of soccer books focus on drills and diagrams, but this one describes general strategies: attack strategies like staying wide, diagonal runs, blind side runs, and overlapping; and defense strategies like staying compact, pressuring, supporting the pressure, and delay. You get to hear it from the guy who knows.But what I really like about the book are the intense black and white photos of Indiana games. They're great!
