The key to successful coaching is getting your players to make successful decisions on the field. Skills and Strategies for Coaching Soccer gives you the tools to do just that. You’ll have access to 120 drills for teaching skills and techniques; more importantly, you’ll know how to develop these skills in realistic game situations with beginning, intermediate, and advanced players. Essential skills are presented, including collecting and controlling, passing, dribbling, kicking, heading, goalkeeping, and the throw in. But the unique feature of this book is for each skill presented, you’ll find drills for players at different levels of development. And no one knows the importance of skill development better than Alan Hargreaves--one of England’s top soccer coaches. He has coached 5-year-olds to pros, using the same skills and techniques presented in this book.

101 Kicking and Punting Drills will provide you with more than enough ways to not only keep your specialists busy at practice, but also to push them to reach beyond their potential. As a coach, don’t ever lose sight of how important your punters and kickers are to the overall success of your team. Without good kicking and punting, championships will be hard to come by. This book of drills will undoubtedly help your specialists win one-third of the game. It’s time to boom it down the field, pin ’em down inside the five, and knock it through the uprights. Winning special teams will lead to winning games.
