Coaching Youth Soccer

This is a fine book on coaching youth soccer. There are many competing books, most of which are very similar. All competing books, and this one as well, emphasize basic skills and techniques. What distinguishes this book is the attention to detail and the emphasis on a systematic approach to coaching. Each chapter is very well written with good descriptions of techniques and good drills. The author encourages the development of a long term graduated approach to introducing and refining skills. Very good illustrations. As an experienced youth coach, I have looked at a lot of coaching books and this is the best single book.
