Train like the World Champions! Over the past few years, a new trend has become ever more prominent in the soccer world: passing often, fast, and including all players in the game. Combining this with their own personal style, we have seen teams reach new heights of success from FC Barcelona to Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund and, most recently, the German National Team at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. But what does it take to learn this ‘art’ of passing? What are the methodological and technical requirements for becoming the new Schweinsteiger, Messi, or Neuer? In this book, the only of its kind, two German League certified coaches have created the ultimate guide to passing. Using the “Hyballa-te Poel-Passing-Puzzle,” they present every type of pass there is in modern soccer, with lots of drills for each type. From the goalkeeper to the center forward, everyone can learn passing with these exercises.

It is probably truer today than ever that the game is made for dribblers. Firstly, we play on pitches that are so much better than they used to be. 4g technology means we have astroturf like the best laid grass, while outdoor grass pitch technology means drainage is maximized and wear minimized. On top of those physical conditions lending themselves to a dribbling game, defensive tactics are improved to such an extent that even weaker teams can compete with much stronger ones and hold the hope of keeping their more talented opponents from scoring. At all levels players are fitter, and coaches are better. Teams, even youth ones, are more organized. Here is a preview of what you'll learn... Understanding the rules and regulations Learning the field layout Mastering the basics of soccer Common team practice drills Soccer drills and game-development exercises to do on your own Advancing your skills and playing soccer like a pro Preparing for team try-outs This guide provides that starting point by not only going through the basic and advanced aspects of dribbling, but also giving concrete drills and exercises that players can do to develop these skills. This fully illustrated guide not only tells you how to be a great dribbler, it shows you by illustrating each example, drill and move so you can see exactly how they should be done.

'You speak bad of me, I score goals, ' This was a famous line of soccer Italian bad boy, Mario Balotelli. There's two minutes to go. The scores are level. We must win. The chance falls, the goal is scored. Is there a greater thrill in the whole of sport? It doesn't matter whether we have just won the World Cup, avoided relegation, advanced to the next round of the local pub trophy or our Under Twelves have secured their first win of the season. Scoring goals is what soccer is a about. The finisher is the most prized asset of any team. Clinical finishing is a skill every single outfield player needs. That ability to put the ball in the net. To sieze the chance. To score. Chest Dugger's book will help us to impove our finishing as players, and provide us with enjoyable, practical, simple and effective drills as coaches. Ones we can take straight from the page, or adapt to our own team's needs. It will focus on the mental coolness needed to keep adrenalin under control as the goal beckons. It will look at the essentials - shooting, being comfortable with both feet and heading. It will examine dribbling skills and one on one finishes against the keeper. It will look at set pieces. This book is based not just on Chest Dugger's experience as a former pro, with years of coaching behind him. It will also look at statistical evidence, using this to offer helpful tips for set pieces. Corners, inswinger or outswinger? Free kicks - shoot or cross? And penalties. It will explain the best spot in which to place a penalty, the best power with which to hit the shot, the best way to stay cool as the temperature rises inside a striker's head. Plus, the book never forgets that soccer is fun. There are chapters on special finishes, on volleys, scissor kicks and overhead kicks. The sort of finishes that come along only rarely, but once made are never forgotten. For players, coaches and those of us who are simply massive fans of the game, and want to understand it better, Soccer Finishing Book will offer us strategies, tactics, techniques and drills to enhance our love of this beautiful game, and make us better proponents of it. It will give us extra insight and skill at the most important aspect of soccer. Putting the ball into the back of the net. And many more....

Are you stuck at home or unable to get access to a soccer field? Are you worried about a lack of practice and reduced fitness? This book is your answer. Whether it's a pandemic caused by an extremely infectious pathogen or a harsh winter that causes 10 feet of snow to pile up on the soccer field, there are times when soccer takes a back foot. As we have discovered, soccer isn't more important than life or death, despite the claims to the contrary. So many coaching books require complex equipment, copious resources and fantastic facilities. In writing ‘Practice Soccer at Home’, we are seeking to offer a guide for those times when we train alone, in our back yard, with little more than a ball and our immediate environment. Undertaking this additional work is important whether we are professionals seeking to perfect our technique at the highest level (why else would top professionals build home gyms into their luxurious houses?) or, more relevantly for this book, keen amateurs or youth players looking to develop our own game. With jobs to hold down, school to attend and such like, it is unlikely that, in the best of times, we will get more than two formal training sessions per week, plus a match at the weekend. Realistically, it is likely to be just one session. In order to maximise our potential, we must do some work on our skills and endurance alone. The most practical place for many of us is to undertake this training at home. Why get in the car to drive to the gym or park if we have a back yard we could use instead? The answer is, of course, what to do in the back yard, and what to do it with! This book provides some answers to those questions.

This book contains the best possession drills I have used in my 20+ years of coaching. The training sessions come from Barcelona FC, Everton FC, Arsenal FC, Wigan Athletic, Liverpool FC, Stoke City, Valencia FC, Sporting Lisbon FC, Inter Milan, Ajax FC and many more famous clubs. Coaching possession is about teaching decision-making, guiding players to become problem solvers, helping players understand the importance of positioning and placing players in training sessions that challenge them. One of the most important aspects of possession training is the number of meaningful touches a player gets. A competitive possession drill should demand player's play on the edge of their ability to be successful while receiving many touches. The tempo of the drills should be high, forcing quickness of thought and speed of play. In the modern game players must be able to play under pressure without losing the ball. Players and teams that can hold the ball under pressure know how to save seconds on the ball. Playing possession soccer is all about positioning and coordinated movement. Without proper positioning keeping the ball would be impossible. Positioning and coordinated movement allows players to create overloads all over the field. Creating a numerical advantage is critical to unbalancing the opponent, keeping the ball and scoring goals. Focus on the details when training your team. Make sure you are providing an environment for maximum learning and growth. There will always be debates about possession soccer and whether controlling possession means winning more games. I personally believe players and teams that possess the ball well have more tools and options to break their opponents down. Possession training makes players well-rounded, skillful, composed, gives them the ability to find soccer solutions on the field and increases passing accuracy. Teams with higher passing accuracy win more games. Teams with overwhelming possession (over 65%) win more games as well. "45 Professional Soccer Possession Drills" will be a valuable tool for developing your players' possession ability.
