Book excerpt: A player who could hardly defend. A bleak soccer future as a bench-warmer. An athlete who lacked confidence in their game. Are you or a loved one enjoying soccer, but can't stand not being confident on how to defend? Do you or a child have a problem stopping the team from shooting? Are you a parent or player that would love to stop the dribble of each opponent but struggle even stopping the foot skills of one player? If any of these situations describe you, you are not alone. Coaches of soccer are good at having the team work together. Sadly, your abilities as an individual are often lost in the team's tactics unless you are the star player on the team. The coach lets the best player do as they please but every other player must do their job, even though the coach may not always teach exactly how to do that job. This is great when you are the favorite player, but more often than not you are just existing on the field and not really contributing to your team in the way you want to. Outcomes of applying the facts in this book: -Understand how to stop an attacker every time (plus a few mindsets to avoid). -Learn the proper body positioning and placement in relation to the defender. -Remove the toxic habits you need to break. Why does learning these things matter? Well, building your knowledge grows your confidence. Self-esteem is key for any soccer player and building the belief in yourself and your child will allow them to play to the level you know they can play. You may think those are all well and great, but "how can a book really deliver on increasing the abilities of yourself, son, daughter, or team?" "Why not just watch a YouTube video to see it too?" Excitingly, this book lays out step-by-step what you should work on and the most important keys to being able to perform on the field. Yes, other author's will fill up their pages with tips for various situations, but never really say which things to know are the most important and will make the biggest difference in your game. This book does exactly that. Also, though YouTube can be used to compliment a book because videos show visual representations of the skills covered, each video is often unorganized and the order in which you watch the videos is NOT structured at all. This book provides that structure to ensure that you are not just getting a little information in one spot and some knowledge in another without being able to understand the entire picture of how it all works together. It is time for hours of Soccer Defending to finally pay off. Become the player, coach, or parent that changes every game from here on out. Pick up your copy today by clicking BUY NOW.

Download or read book Defending in Soccer written by Tony Englund and published by Meyer & Meyer Sport. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990 World Cup in Italy was infamous for generating the lowest-ever goals per game average, and since then, tactical thought has focused heavily and consistently on flexible attacking designed to break down and defeat defending in depth. This book argues that the next tactical revolution belongs to the defending side of the ball, and it features complex, layered defending, blending postures and pressures designed to keep an attacking team off balance throughout the match. There are many quality soccer coaches in the game at every level who feel that defending is more about mentality than tactics, that defending topics do not need to be part of every training session. This book seeks to reestablish balance in tactical planning and in training design by examining every aspect of individual and team defending, making it easy for the coach to incorporate tackling, defending roles, pressing, defending setpieces, and many more topics into team training. With its more than 190 defending drills to train players, it is the complete guide to mastering defending in soccer.

Download or read book Deliberate Soccer Practice written by Ray Power and published by Bennion Kearny Limited. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soccer is in transition. There is now a growing trend away from 'drills', towards sessions that are more variable and which involve more decision making. But coaches have one burning question - how? The "Deliberate Soccer Practice" series shows coaches how to evolve their coaching sessions. It aims to ensure that players are 'cognitively engaged', with all players involved all of the time. It is about offering exercises which have players actively making regular contact with the ball, making decisions, changing decisions depending on what is happening, and moving to adapt to what the ball and other players are doing. That is the real game after all! Aimed at football coaches of all levels, but with a particular emphasis on coaches who work with youth players, "50 Passing & Possession Football Exercises to Improve Decision-Making" is comprised of 20 Technical Practices and 30 Possession Practices. They are carefully designed to be adaptable to suit the needs of the players you work with; to challenge them and give them decisions to make. The sessions look to make soccer complex and realistically difficult - no passing in queues from one cone to the next with no interference. Crucially, the exercises offer a means to accelerate player development effectively and enjoyably.

Download or read book Create a World Class Soccer Defense written by Chest Dugger and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to learn how to improving your defensive game? Or looking for ways to solidify your team's defense? This book is your answer. As was said by a great soccer manager, 'Offense wins games; defense wins titles'. This is the case with every level of the professional and amateur game in all countries across the globe. Although there is a correlation between scoring the most goals and winning leagues, it does not seem to be quite as strong as having a watertight defense. So, we might conclude that while scoring goals thrills the crowd and helps a team to win, to be a champion it is even more important that the defense is as strong as it can possibly be. We hope that we have made our case. Defense is key to a team's success. But there is another important reason for this coaching book on a team's defensive unit. We can coach attacking play; set moves, individual skills and so forth can all help a team to create and score chances. However, goals often result from a touch of magic. The thirty-yard screaming shot; the piece of dribbling brilliance, the through pass hit with precision and vision. These are hard attributes to train. Or they can result from an error by the opposition. A mishit clearance, a goal keeping mistake, a positional defect or communication lapse. Consistent training and coaching can make a bigger impact with defense than can be with offensive players. Movement that becomes second nature, knowledge, technique, experience and positional awareness - allied to teamwork and communication - these are the elements that come together to produce a defense hard to breach. They are all factors which the coach can improve with their team through drills, team and individual coaching. It is true, if not often said, that attackers thrill the crowd while defenders win matches, at whatever level we play the game, from professional to Under ten teams playing on a Sunday morning. And it is there, with the match winning defense, that a coach earns his salt. Here's what's included in this book: The 4 Elements of a Soccer Game and how to defend in each of them Which defensive system is better? Man to Man or Zonal? The answer may surprise you The most efficient drills to organize your team for set pieces 9 Different Defensive Formations with Drills to Incorporate Each In your Team How 3 v 2 drills are powerful methods to improve with transition in defensive Individual Goalkeeping Drills and Strategies to Improve Positioning, Communication and Timing The 2 qualities of a great defender and drills to improve them Even if you're a die-hard center forward who believes that all 11 players should attack the opposition goal all day, you'll gain a lot from this book.
