Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern day youth sports environment has taken the enjoyment out of athletics for our children. Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution. John O’Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses, scholarships, and professional aspirations. Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids.

Download or read book How to Improve Your Soccer Team Players written by Raed Thaher and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-06 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A soccer player needs to master many different skills in order to be successful on the soccer field. Once a player learns a skill he will also need to maintain it.The best way for doing that is to participate in various drills. The fundamental thing a soccer player need to know about soccer drills is that he really needs to work hard during them in order to develop his skills.I know by experience that many soccer players do not actually focus on the drills. Instead, they see them as something that needs to be done during the practice and then forgets about them. The danger with this behavior is that the players will become less focused during the real games which will impact negatively on their performance.You see, it is not enough to practice on various drills if you never reflect over how you can use them in real game situations. Every time you participate in a drill, you need to imagine how this drill could help you during the games.To state an example let's discuss how a simple shooting drill can make you think outside the box. During a shooting drill, you will, (in most cases), kick the ball with maximum possible power because you probably think that the harder the shot is the bigger the chance for scoring a goal.However, you should be aware of that getting that ball on the goal is much more important than kicking the ball with tremendous power. So, by actually reflecting over the drill, you have discovered that a hard shot is not a guarantee for scoring more goalsIf you start to reflect over the drills you will soon notice that you are actually using what you've learned during the drills in real soccer games. So, don't just perform the drills, be sure to know the benefits of them.

Download or read book Basic Soccer Drills for Kids written by Chest Dugger and published by Abiprod Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you looking to take your kids' soccer game (under 15 years) to the next level? Note: The author has coached teams to finals of national competitions - his teams have played at St George's Park, the home of English soccer, twice. He was invited to be a part of the expert panel when the Government re-wrote the curriculum for sport in school in 2010. He has coached across wide ages, but his main experience is ages 8-13, and within that 9-11. All of the drills are ones he has used; his teams were not selective, just normal school sides. All these drills can be adapted by a good coach for any age. Soccer is the most popular team sport in the world. It is perfect for kids to play. It is safe, simple and the skills required can be easily acquired. Becoming an expert player requires high levels of dedication, natural athleticism and innate skills. Any girl or boy can take to the sport and find enjoyment at their own level. It is for this reason that the game is escalating to such a rapid extent in the US. And it is why the need for coaches and players is growing continuously and rapidly. After all, who would not turn down the chance for their kids to keep physically fit, to allow their natural competitiveness to be channelled in an organized way, to be kept busy in a manner that is both productive and worthwhile? In addition to this, soccer develops dexterity, problem solving, collaboration, friendship, respect, self-discipline, team spirit and sportsmanship. All of which are life skills that are best acquired young. But there is so much to learn for youngsters who wish to become soccer players at a good club level. Shooting, defending, pressing, passing, controlling the ball, the laws of the game (even professionals struggle at times with the offside law as do, it sometimes seems, the referees themselves). And more important than all of these, children must learn about the spirit of soccer. Fair play and the sportsmanship mentioned above. This is especially so for today's youngsters facing all the pressures of growing up in a challenging world driven by the twin pressures of consumerism and social media. Here's What's Included In This Book: The 7 different kinds of skills that kids need to learn in soccer How Ball Control Skills escalate the level of your kids soccer game 6 Passing Drills that will improve team cohesion quickly Offensive Tips, Tricks and Drills that will make your team win 6 Drills that will make your kids get to defend in numbers and strength How to get kids to learn from the pros on TV 6 Drills that will make your kids get to defend in numbers and strength 5 Dribbling Tips and Drills that will make your kid stand out How the Mental Side of Soccer will improve your kids social and life skills What Parents must do during soccer practice and games Scroll up and Download Now

Have you ever lacked confidence when thinking about showing off your abilities? Want to learn the #1 thing you do not do that is holding you back from making every team you try out for? Do you sometimes feel other players are better at showing off their skills and if you had just a few tricks, you would be noticed and wanted by the coach?

This book is a high-level overview of the areas that can take a player from being a bench-warmer to MVP. In a day and age where many so-called experts'' advice is to improve your conditioning, get more touches, try harder, and you need to want it more, this book stands out on delivering the steps to turn any player into a great performer.

You may ask "why should I order this book versus watching free YouTube videos?" Well, though YouTube can be used to supplement this 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 gives every player the ability to walk onto a field and know that (1) your team will win and (2) you will lead them to victory! The skills you develop will move you forward in your playing career. Soccer Training contains the facts that will empower every player, trainer, mom, and dad. Please note this is not a picture book. It is time for hours of SOCCER TRAINING to pay off.

Download or read book Soccer Skills written by Chest Dugger and published by Abiprod Pty Limited. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you ready to take your soccer game to the next level? Or just looking for ways to improve your team? This book can help solve your problems. Soccer is the world's most popular sport. In the Summer of 2018 the latest World Cup Finals take place in Russia, with some of the best (and, perhaps, luckiest) teams in the world participating. The competition will see teams divided into mini leagues, based on their world rankings and a draw. The top two teams from each group go forward to the knock out stages. The best two will compete the final. There is a more than reasonable bet that existing champions Germany will once again lift the trophy, although Brazil, Argentina, Spain and France will all fancy their chances. The Belgians have the team of a life time, and could triumph, while the likes of Saudi Arabia and Panama should make the most of their time in Eastern Europe - it will probably be short lived. As for Russia itself, the lowest ranked side in the competition, well, who knows? Home advantage can count for a lot. This short focus on the World Cup is of great relevance to the book that follows. Consider the team below: Those of you with good football knowledge will spot that these great players, along with many more, are some of the giants of the game who will not feature in the World Cup Finals, other than perhaps in the commentary box, pundit's chair or newspaper columns of June 2018. How can this be? How can such individuals not represent their countries on the biggest stage of all? The answer, as we know, is that soccer is team game, where the collective talents of the players outweigh the individual skills of the maestro. The great sides do, naturally, incorporate such talents within their squad, but it is so often the case that a team that works together and combines well outperforms a side made up of more talented individuals who are less effective team players. And the secret to success is possession of the football. Passing and the possession this helps to retain really are two of the most important parts of team play for a soccer team. This book will look at a number of ways both coaches and players can improve such aspects of their own side's performance.
