It's a very nice concise manual on modern soccer. It has very good illustrations and good coaching ideas. All parts of the game are very well explained. Would be much better in hardcover, as it is a book to keep and use, not just to store on the shelf.
GREAT book. I love it. Very helpful, even during the middle of practice, I can run over and look up something the team needs to work on.
How to play soccer is a good book. It teaches most of basic techniques separately, like dribling, heading goalkeeping. But it does not teaches exercises to achieve strength, speed and agility. It is good for coaches who want to train their team to better football. It may not be as good for players who are learning individually.
There are many errors of technique taught here (for example, goalie hand positions). Not a good book.
If you're looking for a coaching book, this is very good, but there are better. For instance - any title by Joe Luxbacher. SIMILAR ITEMS: |
