Really useful book
I'm always trying to find better ways to coach (I coach a ladies' field hockey squad) and this book is full of well-stated insight into a country's hockey training program.

The example drills are great bases for building up sessions and the main message, core skills, is emphasised throughout.

Well worth having in the coaching manual section of your home library...

Opinion of Field Hockey
I am pleased with this product, it is very well written and contains detailed information about the subject. Field Hockey book, gives set out that it is easy to read and understand and has many different drills that can be performed. It helps a young coach be prepared for hockey sessions with groups and how to coach skills to performers. It includes images and bullet points to make teaching easier.

The delivery of the product was good and was received with a few days of purchase.
I am pleased with the book and it was a good buy that will last a long time.
