A fresh and dynamic approach to all the basic skills required to improve your game, with easy-to-follow practical routines as demonstrated by Michael and a group of teenagers from the Brazilian Football Academy in Leeds.
Let Michael show you how to put what you learn in the park into practice in a live-match situation.
Featuring more than a dozen skills including:
Getting to know the ball · Shooting for goal · Volleying · Heading · Penalties · Defending · Tackling · Ball control
along with a personal profile of his own career to date plus his recuperation from his hamstring injury.
With more than 200 colour action photographs, many exclusive to this book, Michael Owen’s Soccer Skills Gem will be an important tutorial to all those who love playing the game.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Colourful, informative and easily accessible to even the most novice of players, Michael Owen's Soccer Skills (subtitled How to Become the Complete Footballer) may not have you basking in the glory of international acclaim by the time you're 18, but it will certainly help you improve your game.
Colour photographs, illustrations and step-by-step pointers on all the basic skills give you the grounding to get out on the pitch and get going.
From kicking, passing, shooting, dribbling and volleying to more surprising inclusions such as a chapter on defending (Michael admits this is the biggest lesson he had to learn--defending from the front), this is the complete manual for the players and coaches of young teams.
Action-packed photographs of Michael in action for both his club and his country, and sections on his extraordinary career so far, ensure this is aimed fairly and squarely at the young Owen follower. However, there is plenty in there for anyone merely wishing to improve their game and the discerning can skip the idol worship for good, hard facts on how to do exactly that. --Lucie Naylor
