This book is an essential tool for any club, coach, or parent who is truly focusing on player development." Manchester United Youth Academy Coach - Dean Whitehouse Using insightful anecdotes, personal experiences, and perspectives of numerous development experts, they passionately provide the reader with a clear and compelling breakdown of critical issues involved with youth development. Holding nothing back, they unveil the damaging problems that currently exist in U.S. youth soccer due to high numbers of administrators, coaches, and parents demonstrating misguided and outdated beliefs, and/or harboring ulterior motives that are simply not beneficial for the players' best interests. They emphasize how conventional thinking in youth soccer leads to so many youngsters encountering negative experiences during their formative years and is a major driver as to why 70-80% of young players drop out of the sport at a young age before they have even had the opportunity to unlock their true potential. In this book, Mairs and Shaw reveal how coaches and parents can positively impact young players' involvement. They demonstrate how to ignite young players' passion for the sport and arm players with the powerful tools which will help them become successful players in the long-term.

This book shares his views and experiences of having been involved in the game as a player, coach and manager at youth, college and pro levels. He started to get involved in coaching when he first joined the Seattle Sounders in 1974. Because you have played the game, doesn't necessarily make you a good coach, this was another thing he took on- board from his first coach, John Best. You need to become more aware of how we learn and that coaching is very much like teaching. Adrian believes that good verbal communication and visual demonstrations became his focus and as they say, a picture paints a thousand words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's all about the statistics! Tip the odds in your favor! While you can't control everything the kids do on the field, you can certainly make sure that when the play stops, that they use techniques and strategies to help them retain possession, steal the ball, block kicks, put the ball in play correctly, and score goals. Use statistics and strategy to your advantage! Whether you are a first time coach or have been coaching for a while, this very short 20 page book will teach you how to coach your kids, how to run practice, tell you which drills to run, and how to win by tipping the odds in your favor! Coach Alo has been involved in sports for over thirty years, whether it's playing sports, being a coach on the field, and now coaching from the sidelines. He's taken all the statistical research about soccer from the last forty years, as well as first hand experience coaching youth soccer, and turned it into a very simple guide. This is a very concise book on what you need to teach your kids to do on throw ins, corners, goal kicks, center balls, and how to ingrain those techniques into their brains so that they can do it instinctively during the games. It also talks about what you should not be doing in each scenario. This is not a very long course in statistics or statistical analysis. That's been taken out.
