Soccer Training Programmes

Rating:
Summary: Limited usefulness
Review: This book has dozens of diagrams meant to explain how one can plan training sessions for an amateur soccer club for a year. The concept is good, and the author does a good job glossing over the basics of conditioning, planning of practice etc. However, when looking at the diagrams, it's very difficult to read the majority because they are so packed with arrows and numbers. In addition, the print is exceedingly small on the diagrams. Finally, although the author talks about being able to tailor the practice sessions to any age-group or level of ability, this would be extremely difficult to do without extensive experience in coaching. At that point of expertise, one would hardly need to use the relatively basic practice sessions presented here as the basis upon which to build a season's practices.
