Soccer Training [antikvár]

FOREWORDSoccer teams, and young players in particular, will benefit from a coaching programme which develops their tactical and organisational skills as well as bail control and général fitness. To this end, the most effective training practices are those requiring a minimum of equipment and explanation, while encouraging progress and enjoyment by breaking up the squad into small, compétitive units.This manual of simple but functional games, drills and fitness practices will provide a vast repertoire of ideas for every team wanting to improve their training success. Authors Malcolm Cookand Nick Whitehead, with impressive backgrounds in soccer and athletics coaching, have combined their specialist knowledge to construct a broad-ranging practical book which balances a wide variety of routines for perfecting specific soccer techniques and tactical understanding with sections on basic warm-up and fitness exercises.While many of the practices may be familiar to the experi-enced coach, there are additional ideas for increasing the level of difficulty as the players become more skilied, as well as interesting material for those seeking to try more innova-tive methods such as weight training.This excellent book is to be welcomed, and I warmly recommend it to young and aspiring teams at home and abroad.Alex Ferguson (/ Team ManagerManchester United Football Club
