Coaching Books

I have only visited Singapore once in my life. As a tourist. and I was very impressed with what I saw there.
This book highlights a very fascinating period in Singapore's history.
The years 1960-1980 were very important to build the foundation Singapore is built upon. And still profits from, from day to day.
The economic, social and political development provides for a good read.
This book should be in every student or scholars backpack when the history of Singapore is studied.

I'm happy to see Amazon.com is carrying this book. It is hard to find, and probably the most useful tool any coach, new or experienced could have at his or her disposal to organize, manage and administrate his or her team.

Good job!!! I highly recommend it!!!

Looking to become a Soccer coach but aren't sure of the rules, and how to teach the game? Look no further...a very simple guide to basic rules, and drills that will develop players. It's straight forward, easy to read, and has plenty of diagrams to support the text. High quality book for the price...can't go wrong.

This book was first published in 1973, but remarkably little has changed from a technical or tactical standpoint in the time between now and then. This book provides the basis and terminology for all of the USSF licensing courses (yes, we copied the English). Another benefit is that it contains very clear diagrams of both correct and incorrect positions (placed side by side for comparison) in areas of discussion which include, but are not limited to: creating space, support in attack, passing, shooting, defending and attacking at set pieces, and goalkeeping. The book does include some activities for use in training sessions, but if you are looking for a drill book, this is not the one to buy. Having said that, however, I highly recommend this book, as it is an excellent primer and resource on coaching tactics. It is written in such a way as to be applicable to any team that plays 11 a side (although many of the concepts are applicable to any team because they are emphasized in a small sided setting such as 2 v. 1), and can be understood easily by any coach from novice to expert.

As a newcomer to soccer I searched for a book that could be used as a reference for basic skills and drills to use to practice and master the skills. This book has it all. It is a gem. There are step by step pictures of each skill and a drill(s) to practice the skill presented. I have and continue to use this book for and with my daughter. Unfortunately, it is likely very hard to find but by all means look for it or request it and perhaps it will be reprinted. Soccer is here to stay. This book was written by a professional British soccer coach who has worked with children so has the ability and knowledge of how to explain skills in an easy to understand way for all ages of soccer players, coaches and parents. We have attended private lessons, camps etc.... and this book covers the skills taught but in an easy to reference format. LOOK FOR IT, ASK FOR IT, AND BUY IT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY USE IT.....

This book is a good guide for almost all drills you want to use on practice with one or more players. Recomend to all coaches at the beginning of their carrier.

The authors have done a wonderful job of breaking down the various skills, from beginning to advanced, required to develop or improve your game. Each of the various skills is explained in detail (and illustrated!) and supported with drills of increasing difficulty. This book is an excellent resource, both for the player desiring to improve their skills and the coach looking for useful practice techniques. I highly recommend it!

Coach Arbuckle's book on Special Teams is second to none in football literature. I own over a half a dozen books dedicated to Special Teams and this book has no rivals. He does an outstanding job breaking down every aspect of the kicking game in explicit detail and leaves the guess work out of Special Teams.

I study sports massage at the moment. This book has/is helping me a lot in my study. It describes different techniques, and shows you with foto's how to aplly them. It also refers to important anatomy, and gives you infomation about different types of injury. It's a must for every sports massage therapist!!

I use this text in an on-line undergraduate sport psychology course. Cox does a very good job of presenting research and application aspects of sport and exercise psychology. Students enjoy this easy-to-read text.
