SOCCER COACHING MADE SIMPLE : LEARN THE GEME PDF

I'll be the first one to admit it: when I first started coaching soccer players I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.

I prepared boring training sessions, I lacked authority on the field, I couldnt figure out how to motivate my players or get them to behave, etc.

I approached every coaching session with mixed feelings--I was excited for my opportunity to work with these kids, but I knew I was not as prepared as I should have been.

I often come across coaches that feel the same way I did--they enjoy coaching, but their lack of preparation makes the experience less enjoyable for them.

This is especially true for coaches that have little experience in soccer-or none at all!

Fortunately, over time, people leam.And you will too! A great deal of your development will come from experience--by making mistakes and adjusting, by interacting with your players, by training and competing.

But you don't have to stop there. There's not need to limit yourself to the school of hard knocks.

There's a plethora of useful material out there (like this coaching manual!) that can really accelerate your learning and improve your coaching experience.

This book will teach you plenty about coaching youth soccer.

It gathers most of what I've learned after working with over 500 players and 60 local coaches from teams of all ages and skill levels, and presents you with clear, concise and very useful information that you'll be able to apply to your team right away.

I am confident that by applying the advice I present to you in this book you will immediately see a difference in your coaching experience.

You will be a more effective teacher and will turn your players into better students.

You will improve your relationship with team parents and may even improve their relationship with their kids.

You will have a much better understanding of the game of soccer and of particular components that are crucial to the success of your team.

You will also be able to design better training programs and practice sessions, resulting in a richer learning experience for your players.

Last but certainly not least, you will be better equipped to communicate effectively and efficiently with your players to ensure they pay more attention to you and retain more of what you say.

You will be a better teacher, a better tactician, a better leader and a better communicator.

In other words, you will be a better coach. Let's get started.
