This book, Soccer Coaching: A Step-by-Step Guide is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to coaching; if you have ever coached, you realize that everything to know couldn’t be contained in one book.

Although many other authors fill their pages with coaching tips for various situations, they never mention which tips will make the biggest difference for your team. This book accomplishes just that.

Creative Soccer Training consists of 350 modern practical games and drills that enhance basic playing skills. Rather than present theoretical introductions, the authors present comprehensive exercises and skills that go beyond standard training.

This book provides you with a great variety of training exercises that will help form intelligent soccer players. Several graphics to make it easier for soccer trainers to implement training content with their own team.

The author and ten high level professional Italian coaches look at modern zone formations from an analytical perspective.
