A player who could hardly defend. A bleak soccer future as a bench-warmer. An athlete who lacked confidence in their game. Are you or a loved one enjoying soccer, but can't stand not being confident on how to defend? Do you or a child have a problem stopping the team from shooting? Are you a parent or player that would love to stop the dribble of each opponent but struggle even stopping the foot skills of one player? If any of these situations describe you, you are not alone. Coaches of soccer are good at having the team work together. Sadly, your abilities as an individual are often lost in the team's tactics unless you are the star player on the team. The coach lets the best player do as they please but every other player must do their job, even though the coach may not always teach exactly how to do that job. This is great when you are the favorite player, but more often than not you are just existing on the field and not really contributing to your team in the way you want to. Outcomes of applying the facts in this book: -Understand how to stop an attacker every time (plus a few mindsets to avoid). -Learn the proper body positioning and placement in relation to the defender. -Remove the toxic habits you need to break. Why does learning these things matter? Well, building your knowledge grows your confidence. Self-esteem is key for any soccer player and building the belief in yourself and your child will allow them to play to the level you know they can play. You may think those are all well and great, but "how can a book really deliver on increasing the abilities of yourself, son, daughter, or team?" "Why not just watch a YouTube video to see it too?" Excitingly, this book lays out step-by-step what you should work on and the most important keys to being able to perform on the field. Yes, other author's will fill up their pages with tips for various situations, but never really say which things to know are the most important and will make the biggest difference in your game. This book does exactly that. Also, though YouTube can be used to compliment a book because videos show visual representations of the skills covered, each video is often unorganized and the order in which you watch the videos is NOT structured at all. This book provides that structure to ensure that you are not just getting a little information in one spot and some knowledge in another without being able to understand the entire picture of how it all works together. It is time for hours of Soccer Defending to finally pay off. Become the player, coach, or parent that changes every game from here on out. Pick up your copy today by clicking BUY NOW.

WARNING: This is not a goalkeeping book. From the best-selling author of Soccer iQ comes a book dedicated to teaching and organizing a back four. Coach Dan Blank led the Southeastern Conference's best defense at two different universities in consecutive years. It began with a handbook he created for his defenders that ensured everyone was on the same page. Shutout Pizza is a vastly expanded version of that handbook. It introduces the governing principles that guided the SEC's best defenses, and covers a broad spectrum of scenarios that commonly occur during matches. Shutout Pizza is packed with diagrams that will help the reader visualize the concepts discussed in the text, and includes several of most effective drills for training these concepts. This is an excellent book for coaches and players who want to defend more effectively.

The 2020/21 football calendar was like no other. The first full Premier League season played during a global pandemic saw the schedule shortened with games played seemingly every day between September and May. The stadiums were empty, revenues fell and coaches had to adapt as players tested positive for Covid-19, but the beautiful game carried on. Football in a Pandemic takes an in-depth look at the tactics and strategies used during this unique season, whether a side was competing at the very summit, clinging to survival or somewhere in between. From high pressing, to low-block defending, patient build-up play and quick-fire counter attacking, UEFA A-licensed coach Sam Hudson puts the game plans under the microscope, highlighting the many intricacies and micro-tactics used by some of football's finest coaching minds.

The 1990 World Cup in Italy was infamous for generating the lowest-ever goals per game average, and since then, tactical thought has focused heavily and consistently on flexible attacking designed to break down and defeat defending in depth. This book argues that the next tactical revolution belongs to the defending side of the ball, and it features complex, layered defending, blending postures and pressures designed to keep an attacking team off balance throughout the match. There are many quality soccer coaches in the game at every level who feel that defending is more about mentality than tactics, that defending topics do not need to be part of every training session. This book seeks to reestablish balance in tactical planning and in training design by examining every aspect of individual and team defending, making it easy for the coach to incorporate tackling, defending roles, pressing, defending setpieces, and many more topics into team training. With its more than 190 defending drills to train players, it is the complete guide to mastering defending in soccer.

Ever wish you had pre-planned drills to use in practice? Wish you had drills with specific coaching points that doubled your confidence by pointing out what to teach your team? Want to learn which drill best develops the "Big 3" soccer skills? Are you ever uncertain that your practices are not developing your players quickly enough? If any of these situations describe where you are at, then this book is for you. Making practices into an enjoyable experience for your players while also ensuring they are developing quickly is not an easy feat. Other soccer books on drills provide too little guidance and are not written to make it easy for you to reference the drills prior to a practice. The drills in this book have accompanying graphics for you to follow along easily. Sure, there are likely some drills you already enjoy doing with your team, but this book provides 17 drills covering the topics of passing and receiving, dribbling and foot skills, defending, and shooting and finishing. Also, this book details 6 games that players love to play. Please note that though this book does cover some of the technical aspects of soccer such as the proper form for passing and receiving a pass, it does not cover the steps of every technical topic. Other books in the Understand Soccer series have been created to cover more technical subjects and are also available on Amazon.com.

Why does learning these things matter? Well, building your soccer knowledge grows your coaching confidence.

It is time for your coaching of Soccer Drills to reach the next level. Become the coach that changes every game from here on out and the coach whose team every player wants to be on.
