Basic Building Blocks of Good Technique
If you are looking for a good, practical book to help you develop enjoyable training ground drills for your squad then this is a book that will help you. Very well laid out, easy to understand and with great advice, this book gets you straight into decent drills. It relies on some knowledge of coaching and so is not for the entire novice, however anyone who has had FA Soccer Parent or Level 1 coaching will find this book useable. For the more experienced coach, this book will add variety and additional skills to your training session. I run a Youth Football team (U18's) and I have found this book invaluable, however I have loaned this to Colt's football coaches and they have found it equally useful. Good value for money.
