Successful Soccer Coaching is designed to provide coaches with the strategies, tactics, and techniques to develop elite soccer teams—to bring their teams to the top of their league. While this book is directed to the high school, college, and club levels, it includes tips that teams at most ages and skill levels can benefit from—from youths to professionals. The Elite Soccer Coaching system combines a fast-attacking style, tactical surprise, and field-tested methods to give its users an advantage and thus make victory more achievable. Using his Elite Soccer Coaching system, Terry covers coaching philosophy, conditioning for success, skill practice, offensive strategy and tactics, offensive tactics for restarts, defensive strategy and tactics, defensive tactics for restarts, goalkeeping, the slight edge, practice, plans, and his observations on rules, ethics, and officiating.
